Quiet Weekend (play)

Quiet Weekend is a 1941 play by the British writer Esther McCracken.

[1] It opened on 2 July 1941 at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, where it enjoyed a successful run of 1,059 performances, closing on 29 January 1944.

Bachelor Adrian's interest is divided between discussing fishing with Arthur and his devotion to the charming middle-aged Mary Jarrow.

Arthur and Adrian become involved in a salmon-poaching with matters straightened out the next day but all leave hurriedly to escape the consequences and to evade a visit from the vicar looking for money.

[4] In 1946 it was turned into a film Quiet Weekend directed by Harold French.
