Flare Path

Set at a coastal RAF hotel during the Second World War, the play follows Patricia Graham, a London actress married to bomber pilot Teddy Graham. When Hollywood star Peter Kyle arrives at the hotel and Teddy is sent on a dangerous night raid over Germany, Patricia finds herself emotionally torn — caught between a rekindled old flame and loyalty to the husband who relies on her for support. As those waiting at the hotel learn a plane has gone missing, tensions escalate amid the uncertainty.

Flare Path by Terence Rattigan, directed by Jenny Nash, ran for three nights at the village hall.

Performed by Exeter Drama Company on 23rd–25th March 2023.
