After the Dance, the awards: Terence Rattigan play wins four Oliviers

The Guardian: "A Terence Rattigan play that closed early and was largely neglected for 70 years until its revival at the National Theatre emerged as the biggest winner at last night's 2011 Olivier theatre awards.
After the Dance, which portrays a group of bright young things getting older but still drinking and partying as the nation slides to war, won four awards including best revival. The National was the biggest winner, with seven prizes overall. This is Rattigan's centenary year and there are revivals of his plays across the country, including the wartime tearjerker Flare Path, which opened to loud audience cheers last week.
