The Terence Rattigan Society

The Terence Rattigan Society. was founded in his centenary year, 2011, with the intention of providing a forum for the study and enjoyment of Rattigan’s work, in order to increase public awareness of and interest in his plays and screenplays. This has been achieved so far with a range of events, including a launch at his birthplace and a talk by Dan Rebellato, at Harrow School (Rattigan’s alma mater). Annual Birthday Dinner speakers have included Ronald Harwood and Julian Fellowes. In addition, the Society also provides an educational initiative, working with drama schools, to increase awareness amongst young people. There will be a two day conference at Rattigan’s other alma mater, Trinity College, Oxford, scheduled for Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June, 2015 and the main aim for the future is to set up Terence Rattigan-related Awards and/or Bursaries for students, through fund-raising events. The Society is a totally selffunding and relatively small organisation which welcomes new members. Annually, members receive four editions of the newsletter – The Rattigan Version.
