Flare Path
Written by Terence Rattigan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence Rattigan] and directed by Nick Vause First performed in 1942, "Flare Path" is a deeply moving portrait of people at war and was inspired by the playwrights own experiences in the RAF. The action of the play takes place over the course of a single night at the height of the Second World War. In a country house hotel, on the edge of an RAF Bomber Command airfield, three women wait anxiously for news of their husbands return from a dangerous bombing mission behind enemy lines. While the play focuses on the relationships between the three couples, at the centre of the drama is a love triangle between RAF bomber pilot Teddy, his actress wife Patricia and her ex-lover, Hollywood film star Peter Kyle. Torn between her feelings for the two very different men, Patricia finds herself at the centre of an emotional conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies. This amateur production of "Flare Path" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk [https://www.concordtheatricals.co.uk/].Read more

About Oakwood
Oakwood is a suburban area of North London, in the London Borough of Enfield and primarily within the Southgate postal area (London N14). Historically, it was the southernmost area of Enfield Chase. The area derives its name from Oakwood Park. Oakwood Park was named after Oak Lodge, which stood in the grounds between the late 19th century and First World War. There is an avenue of oak trees to the north of the park. The arrival in Oakwood of the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground in 1933 heralded the start of a spectacular building boom. Builders bought up much of the land for development and estates began to eat up the countryside along Bramley Road and towards Cockfosters. Following the war a number of shops were opened around the Underground station, and today Oakwood has many shops, restaurants and services.
