This Happy Breed - Noel Coward

Written in 1943 and shortly thereafter made into a film, but long forgotten since, this play was Coward's peon of praise to ordinary British people, written as a morale booster.

The play follows the lives of an ordinary working class family in the years from 1919 to 1939, years in which the family enjoy happiness as well as tragedy and are touched by the major events going on around them.
