Full Circle (Melville play)

Full Circle (previously Dear Charles) is a play by Alan Melville adapted from "Les Enfants d'Edouard" by Marc-Gilbert Sauvajon and Frederick J. Jackson. It also was produced in 1944 with the title Slightly Scandalous, lasting only one week.[1]

The plot focuses on Parisian author Dolores who "decides it is time to legitimize her three grown children so she invites their three fathers to a reunion party to decide which one she ought to marry."[1]

Yvonne Arnaud and Tallulah Bankhead appeared in productions of Dear Charles in 1950s. In 2004 Joan Collins toured the UK with a revival of this play directed by Patrick Garland.

Sophie Stewart starred in a version of the play that was performed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1954 and went on to tour in Australia and New Zealand in 1955.[2]
