Yes and No

by Graham Greene

Yes and No is a short one act play written by Graham Greene, consisting of a conversation between a fictional, unnamed Play Director and a fictional, unnamed Actor. The Actor's only lines, as the Director discusses the play script, are the words "Yes" or "No". Greene wrote the play following a dream; it was inspired by his observations of interactions between Sir John Gielgud, director, and Sir Ralph Richardson, actor, during rehearsals for the original 1959 production of The Complaisant Lover. Director Actor The play was first performed at The Haymarket Studio Theatre, Leicester on 20 March 1980, with Derek Smith as 'Director' and William Hope as 'Actor'. The play was performed in repertory with Greene's For Whom the Bell Chimes. Smith and Hope appeared in both plays.
