Experience: 7/10
By Somerset Maugham
Directed by Auriol Smith
Venue: Orange Tree Theatre
Date: Tuesday 7th May 2013
Another little gem from the Orange Tree, this time with a husband and father, the breadwinner of the title, turning the tables on his spoilt wife and pampered children. Set in 1930, the play deals with the social and economic after-effects of the First World War in a light-hearted way, with the characters making some valid points as well as showing us some less pleasant aspects of human behaviour.
