A play by Terence Rattigan (1973).

The original text

Originally entitled After Lydia, it is the first part of a double-bill play by the English playwright Terence Rattigan (the second half being Before Dawn, a burlesque of the opera Tosca) — it was the penultimate play he wrote and was inspired by the true-life relationship between Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall, using characters named Sebastian and Lydia respectively and follows her illness and death.
