The Living Room
T1639940050
'Since my last confession three weeks ago I have committed adultery twenty-seven times.' On the night of her mother's funeral, Rose Pemberton does not join her Catholic family to say mass. She is in a hotel with Michael, a married psychology lecturer. Graham Greene's powerful and shocking play is a story of sex, sin, and guilt. It unfolds in the mysterious 'living room' of Rose's elderly Catholic uncle and aunts, as a net begins to close around the adulterous couple. With echoes of Terence Rattigan's The Deep Blue Sea, Greene captures a dying but irresistibly powerful world.
