   Is Van Druten still a comedy?

   • It is still a comedy, but one infused with emotion, longing and loss, and with a woman at its centre. In other plays too, Van Druten revealed a contemporary stance – such as London Wall (1931), focusing on workplace sexual harassment, and Flowers of the Forest (1934), a love story with JB Priestley-like timeslips.

   Is Van Druten worth reevaluating?

   • Along with Noël Coward, Terence Rattigan and Somerset Maugham, his work was swept aside by the theatrical revolution of the “Angry Young Men” at the Royal Court led by John Osborne. But as with the work of Coward, Rattigan and Maugham, Van Druten’s work is well worth reevaluating.

   Did Van Druten fall from grace?

   Does Van Druten sublimate his experiences in the voice of the turtle?

   • In the same way, Van Druten sublimates his experiences into Sally and Bill’s tentative explorations in The Voice of the Turtle. The result is that there is something coded in the delicacy, the hesitancy with which these two characters sound out each other’s feelings.
