An Englishman's Home

''An Englishman's Home'' is a threat-of-invasion play by Guy du Maurier, first produced in 1909. The title is a reference to the expression "an Englishman's home is his castle".
==Play==
''An Englishman's Home'' caused a sensation in London when it appeared anonymously, under the name "A Patriot", in 1909.〔Ticknor 1922〕 It first played at Wyndham's Theatre on 27 January〔MacKenzie 1992〕 and went on to be a long-running success. It is now considered a significant example of the invasion literature popular at the time.〔Fussell 1998〕 The play was produced by Guy's brother Gerald du Maurier, possibly without his knowledge and with some assistance from J. M. Barrie.〔Eby 1987〕 The story concerns an attack on England by an unnamed foreign power, generally assumed to represent Germany. The home of an ordinary middle-class family is besieged by soldiers, and the play climaxes with the father shooting an enemy officer and subsequently being executed.〔Ticknor 1922〕 The play stressed Britain's unpreparedness for attack, and has been credited with boosting recruitment to the Territorial Army in the years immediately before World War I.〔MacKenzie 1992〕〔Ticknor 1922〕 The play was revived on stage in May 1939 at London's Prince's Theatre.〔Cooper 2012, Chapter 2〕 It influenced niece Daphne du Maurier's 1952 novelette The Birds,〔Auerbach 2002〕 which was made into a movie directed by Alfred Hitchock.
