    ...revived by the excellent English Touring Theatre in a production beautifully directed by Paul Miller. It's like being presented with a meticulously-crafted time capsule which only needed a new generation of theatre craftspeople to breathe fresh life into it.

    ‘A little masterpiece of frivolity.’
    Evening Standard

    The best place to learn French is surely at a beautiful seaside villa on the Riviera? You’d certainly think so. However, a group of young English men soon discover that there’s only one thing harder to understand than a new language – girls.

    It all seems pretty simple. Kit loves Diana and she loves him. And Bill. Oh, and Alan, of course. Then there’s Jack, she’s in love too… Not so simple after all.

    Award-winning ETT return with one of Terence Rattigan’s most loved plays, his sparkling 1930s comedy, French Without Tears. This stylish and touching revival by ETT gives you the chance to revel in Rattigan’s world of frothy wit and hedonistic charm

    Director Paul Miller’s productions include Kingfisher Blue (Bush Theatre), Mercy (Soho Theatre), Sing Yer Heart Out ForThe Lads (National Theatre) and Honeymoon Suite (Royal Court/ETT).

    ‘One of the funniest comedies in English.’
    The Sunday Times

    ‘Few dramatists have written with more understanding of the human heart than Terence Rattigan.’
    The Guardian
