The plot concerns two friends, a man and a woman, who are each married to other people. While In the Nest together, they are obliged by circumstances to share a hotel bedroom. Everyone else assumes the worst, but the two travellers are able to prove their innocence. The piece opened on 22 July and ran for performances. Travers made a film adaptation, which Walls directed inwith most of the leading members of the stage cast reprising their roles. The actor-manager Tom Wallsinitially together with Leslie Hensonproduced the series In the Nest Aldwych farcesnearly all written by Ben Traversstarring Walls and his co-star Ralph Lynnwho specialised in playing "silly ass" characters. Walls assembled a regular company of actors to fill the supporting roles. For the first few productions, the company included Yvonne Arnaud as the leading In the Nest Robertson Hareas a figure of put-upon respectability; Mary Brough in eccentric old lady roles; and the saturnine Gordon James. Walls and his team had enjoyed a substantial hit at the Aldwych, with It Pays to Advertisewhich had run for performances. Barbara Wykeham's parents, Major and Mrs Bone arrive. They have had a telegram from Barbara, reading "Be at my flat at seven, have had most startling and terrible experience". In the Nest mystification is increased when Rawlins, the maid, tells them that Barbara has sent her a message that she would be returning alone. Rawlins adds that In the Nest in the day the Wykehams In the Nest together for Paddington Station en route for Somersetbut that Peter Wykeham returned to the flat later, not with his wife but with a young woman with a foreign accent. Finally, she adds, Peter rang a garage and hired a car in which he and the young woman drove off, with a little dog. Barbara enters. She tells the Bones that at Paddington Peter had missed the train because he was delayed in conversation with a young woman on the platform when the train pulled out, taking Barbara to Bristol, the first stop, where she got off and hurried back to London. Major Bone thinks there is some innocent explanation, but Barbara and her mother believe that Peter has run off with the unknown foreigner. They telephone the garage and learn that the car has been reported as broken down at a village called Maiden Blotton. Mrs Bone insists on setting off at once for Maiden Blotton to catch the guilty pair in flagrante. The Major is at first reluctant to accompany her, but on realising that he may be called on to intrude into an attractive young woman's In the Nest he changes his mind. Peter and the young foreign woman enter. They met on the station platform and were so deep in reminiscence that they both missed the same In the Nest, on which their spouses travelled without them. The inn is run by the formidable, prudish Mrs Spoker. Only In the Nest bedroom is available, and as it is very clear that Mrs Spoker will not admit an unmarried couple, Peter and Marguerite check in as husband and wife. This deception has to be perpetuated publicly when they meet another guest at the inn, the Rev Cathcart Sloley-Jones, who knows Marguerite; she introduces Peter as her husband, Claude Hickett. At Mrs Spoker's insistence, Pansy, Marguerite's little dog, is banished to sleep in the stables, and Peter and Marguerite retire to In the Nest bedroom. He tries to sneak downstairs again to sleep in the parlour, but finds it locked, and has no alternative but to rejoin Marguerite upstairs. Peter cedes the bed to Marguerite, while he makes several unsuccessful attempts to find a tolerably comfortable spot on the bedroom floor, which has "a triple- direction draught". The dog has been accommodated in the stables, but she howls; Marguerite persuades Peter to bring Pansy inside the inn. It is pouring with rain, the dog runs away, and Peter returns thoroughly wet, and faces the disapproval of Mrs Spoker. The Bones burst in, surprising Peter and Marguerite, the former wearing a towel in place of his rain-soaked trousers. Mrs Spoker, outraged, insists that all four must spend what remains of the night downstairs in the parlour. Major Bone advises Peter on what to say when Barbara arrives, to assuage her suspicion. Marguerite's husband meets Sloley-Jones who thoroughly confuses him with talk of meeting "Mr and Mrs Hickett" the previous evening. Hickett is devoted to Marguerite and is easily convinced of her fidelity. Barbara is less easily persuaded. Peter at first spins her a yarn to the effect that he drove on to the next town, leaving Marguerite overnight at the "Stag and Hunt". When that is shown up as a lie, Marguerite makes a wildly exaggerated show of passion for Peter, In the Nest over-the-top that it is obvious there is actually nothing between them. Barbara recognises the truth, both couples are reconciled, and Marguerite's little dog is restored to her. The Times praised the performances and the play: "Let it In the Nest added that, though the clou of the farce is a 'bedroom scene', the entire entertainment is the pink of propriety. By the end of it the audience was thoroughly exhausted with laughter". Would that all misadventures were as funny. Trewin considered the pinnacle to be "Lynn trying to sleep beneath a washstand in A Cuckoo in the Nest and his manifold agonies as he reeled, writhed and plaited himself in coils through the watches of the night. Travers himself was relieved to find the production to his taste. He had not previously thought highly of either Walls or Lynn: "The father-in-law who was the leading support character in the Cuckoo called for In the Nest straight comedy actor. In Walls directed a film adaptation of the play. Travers wrote the screenplay, and Walls, Lynn, Arnaud, Hare In the Nest Brough reprised their old stage roles.

Coon equals and in some ways exceeds Law here. The greatest is a dinner scene near In the Nest end of the film. It's not just the character's closed-off intensity or nervous cigarette smoking or feathery blond hair that puts the comparison across. This is not the same thing as saying it's an agreeable or light or upbeat performance. Allison is a lot to take. She loves her kids and seems like a fundamentally decent person. But she's in denial about her own materialistic tendencies which she offloads onto the more flagrantly acquisitive Rory. That being said, she's a far better mother than Rory is a father. We're done. But in the memory, it feels much longer in a good waybecause every scene, moment, line, and gesture stands for so many things at once, and exists on so many levels at once, without making a big deal of how much data In the Nest meaning is being conveyed. That the story is set in the s, the era of go-go Reaganism and Thatcherism, prepares us for a lecture on capitalism's failures that never arrives; this is a period movie, In the Nest a thesis statement. It ends on a note of potentiality, not certainty. The relief that accompanies such a realization lets a tale of escalating discomfort end on a note of—well, not "hope," exactly. You don't root for anyone in this movie. It's not the sort of movie that cares whether you approve of its characters—only that you understand them.
