"Theatre” is Somerset Maugham’s most famous novel. A subtle, sharp, and cuttingly ironic story of a brilliant, clever actress marking the “midlife crisis” with a romance with a beautiful young “predator”? Or “Theatre of Vanity” of the bustling twenties? Or, perhaps, a timelessly fascinating book where every reader finds SOMETHING personally for themselves? “All the world’s a stage, and people in it are actors!” It has been so—and it will always be so!
