   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.
