Young Woodley is the story of Roger, an 18 year-old prefect at an English public school in the 1920s. Roger nearly throws away his future when he falls in love with Laura Simmons, the wife of his schoolmaster - only for her husband to plan his revenge... The play is a coming-of-age drama that explores the pain of first love and the responsibility of adulthood. First produced in the West End in 1928 in a production by Basil Dean with Frank Lawton and Jack Hawkins. Playwright John Van Druten (1901-1957) remains best known for I Am a Camera, later adapted into the musical Cabaret, as well as I Remember Mama, Bell, Book and Candle, The Voice of the Turtle and a string of successful light comedies.
