The Roundabout is a delightful comedy by JB Priestley, first seen in 1933, not long after his first great success with The Good Companions. Described by The Spectator as “remarkably good entertainment,” it has subsequently disappeared from view.

The Kettlewells are a dysfunctional family. Richard is a charming old Etonian whose business ventures are failing. Over a crowded weekend, his daughter Pamela, whom he hardly knows, returns from Russia, a passionate communist; his ex-wife and mistress both unexpectedly arrive; and his butler has a big win at the races.
