All on Her Own is a short play by Terence Rattigan. It began as a 1968 television play starring Margaret Leighton. It was adapted for the stage in 1974.

Contents

The play was originally called Duologue. Rattigan's biographer wrote that in the play Rattigan "returned to his theme of the two loves, spiritual and sexual, and the despair that the failure to achieve either can bring. His protagonist only realised she loved her husband after his death, and was blaming herself for denying him the sexual pleasures that she knew he wanted." [1]

Premise
