"Cause Célèbre" is a gripping 1975 radio play by Terence Rattigan, later adapted into a stage play in 1977. It is based on the sensational real-life 1935 murder trial of Alma Rattenbury, a vivacious woman accused alongside her young lover, George Percy Stoner, of killing her architect husband, Francis Rattenbury, in England. The courtroom drama, set against the backdrop of 1930s England, explores themes of love, betrayal, and societal hypocrisy. The play keenly examines the character of Edith Davenport, a morally upright jury forewoman who learns to reassess her own rigid views. The stage version premiered at the Haymarket Theatre in Leicester and later moved to Her Majesty's Theatre in London, garnering positive reviews.
