David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts Pictures: (L-R) Hayley Hasselhoff, Taylor Ann Hasselhoff, Hayley Roberts and David Hasselhoff leave a performance of Terence Rattigan's "Flare Path" at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on May 28, 2011 in London, England.
It is 1942. At the Falcon Hotel, on the Lincolnshire coast, Teddy a young RAF bomber pilot celebrates a reunion with his actress wife Patricia. They are thrown into upheaval when Peter, Patricia’s ex lover and Hollywood heartthrob arrives and an urgent bombing mission over Germany is ordered. Who will make the sacrifice during the long night, as Patricia finds herself at the centre of an emotional conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies. Flare Path is a story of love and loyalty, courage and fear.
Based on Rattigan’s own experiences as a tail gunner in the RAF during the Second World War, he later reworked Flare Path into a screenplay and in 1954 the re-titled The Way to the Stars starring Michael Redgrave was released.
