Based on an award-winning made-for-TV screenplay by James Costigan from 1975, starring Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier, “Love Among the Ruins” makes its San Diego premiere following rave reviews at the Laguna Playhouse in Orange County and El Portal Theatre in LA. The setting is London during the 1930s where Jessica Medlicott, once a great stage actress who is now a wealthy widow, is being sued for “breach of promise” by her ex-fiancé, a handsome, much younger Naval officer.
Desperate to protect what is left of her Depression Era-ravaged estate, she turns to highly-respected barrister Sir Arthur Granville-Jones to defend her in court, apparently not remembering that he was a former lover. Sparks fly when Sir Arthur agrees to take the case of Jessica, the only woman the confirmed old bachelor ever loved, despite her insistence they have never met before.
