Play review - "The Sleeping Prince" (1953) by Terrence Rattigan

Terrence Rattigan's gift to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth - it was also a gift to Vivien Leigh, looking to come back to work after her nervous breakdown. Its a charming souffle about a showgirl who is supposed to spend a night with a prince and ends up meddling in affairs of state and capturing the affection of all around him. Light and skillfully done. Rattigan spins it out artfully by bringing in plots about a revolt back home, his son who is itching to take over, and the grand duchess.
