| London : Secker & Warburg, 1958 (jacket incorrectly states two acts) |
Quaint Honour's setting is an unnamed public school during the late 1950s. House Prefect, Tully, is challenged by his fag, Turner, to seduce another junior, Hamilton. Taking up the challenge, Tully and Hamilton are soon an item. Just as quickly, they are found out by Head of House, Park who reports them to Housemaster, Hallowes. Tully will of course be sacked, but what is Hamilton's fate?
Originally produced at the Arts Theatre in London, it premiered on May 1, 1958. This private club was beyond the reach of Lord Chamberlain's powers of censorship.
Produced by Frank Dunlop and with settings by Paul Mayo, the original cast included John Richmond as Robert Hallowes, Philip Waddilove as M. L. Park, John Charlesworth as J. V. H. Tully, Roderick McLaren as R. R. Turner and Michael Caridia as T. A. B. Hamilton.
