About the Play: Is set in the "Vie en Rose" club, London, W1. Has 11 male roles and 10 female roles. "La Vie En Rose" is a drinking club, and the scene that opens is one of a sultry summer evening in 1945. There are two rooms on the ground floor of the club: "The Club Room" as it is known on the left as you come in; and, visible through an archway, the bar. On the left is a door leading to a narrow entrance-hall and staircase. On the other side two windows open onto the street. Across the street can be seen a bomb-damaged Regency house, with Labour Party posters stuck on the windows in for the upcoming general election. You can also see an announcement of "Labour Committee Rooms". At one of the windows, it is possible to see a girl purposefully typing Act One Act Two Under the title of 'The Pink Room', an early version of the play was produced at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith in 1952.
