THE CIRCLE
By W Somerset Maugham
A 1921 comedy of manners; the action is set in a grand house which is the pride and joy of Arnold Champion-Cheney, a priggish MP, now three years married to the lively, attractive, Elizabeth, who has invited his estranged mother to stay for the weekend. Thirty years earlier, when Arnold was five, his mother ran off with his father's best friend, Lord Porteous. Now his mother is returning home with her lover in tow, and the family brace themselves for a few days of social embarrassment.
“Lady Kitty” is a woman clinging to her glamorous life and trying desperately to stay young. Her former husband watches all that is going on with amusement – very happy in his bachelorhood, but also very happy that his presence could be causing embarrassment!
