By Noel Coward

GrevilleGraphic.jpg

Still Life was the basis for Coward's movie Brief Encounter. In a suburban railway station, Dr. Harvey removes a cinder from Laura's eye and they fall in love. Subsequent weekly meetings over tea, scenes debating respectability or love, and some sentimental moments transpire before they decide they must part forever.

Directed by Chris Plumridge
