Breath of Spring 2002

was written by Peter Coke and first performed in London in March 1958. The play is set in a London apartment overlooking Kensington Gardens, where Dame Beatrice houses a collection of middle aged 'guests' with Lily, her maid. To repay Beatrice for giving her a job despite her criminal past, Lily presents her with a mink stole filched from next door. The brigadier deploys his 'troops' to retrieve the fur, but the campaign is so invigorating that they decide to retain the excitement in their lives by pinching furs and giving the proceeds to deserving causes.
