The Present & the Past
1953
Cassius Clare is the father of five children; two by his first wife from whom he is divorced, and three by his second wife who conscientiously tries to be a mother to all five.
The first Mrs Clare Implores Cassius to let her visit her children. At first flattered by the suggestion of a harem implicit In the situation, then maliciously foreseeing the predicament which is likely to arise, he consents.
To his dismay, the tactless return of the first Mrs Clare results in an intimate friendship between the two women who have shared this singularly unlovable husband; neither pays any heed to him.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"...she fills her matchless dialogue with utterly unpredictable remarks, she flits from sense to nonsense, she swings you around and around until, helpless and happy, you hope she'll never let go."
