Play review - "Easy Virtue" by Noel Coward (1924)

 I always think this is going to be a comedy but it's a drama although set amongst the silly set. The son of an upper middle class family arrives home with a new wife who was divorced. It's decent drama, written from the heart, and good tough conflict, with nice subtext about being judgey. I felt it was a two act play more than a three act one - once the wife realises she doesn't much love or even like the son any more it's got nowhere much to go. Still, a good play.
