Lawrence and his 1922 retreat from public life at the home of his friendsGeorge Bernard Shaw and his wifeCharlotte.[1] Its premiere production ran from 28 April to 4 June 2016 at theHampstead Theatre inLondon to mark the centenary of the outbreak of theArab Revolt, in which Lawrence played a leading part.[2]
The Independent found it "intriguing, richly researched but underpowered";[3] whileThe Daily Telegraph noted "A quiet, but highly topical, masterpiece...clever and engaging...the skill of the play is that it doesn’t make you think; it lets you think"; andThe Times found it "Fascinating...it feels as if we have been given a magic window to see what really happened to Lawrence after Arabia."[4]
