Presented in London's West End as part of the centenary year celebrations for playwright Terence Rattigan. This major revival of the great wartime romance starred Sienna Miller, James Purefoy and Sheridan Smith and was directed by Sir Trevor Nunn. One of the playwright's biggest successes, Flare Path was based on Rattigan's experience as a tail gunner in the RAF and was famously filmed with Michael Redgrave, Jean Simmons and John Mills as The Way To The Stars.
