The central passages cover the two years 1916-1918 and are set in the Middle East. The play ran for almost two years making it Rattigan's second most commercially successful play after 'While the Sun Shines' Michael Bryant replaced Guinness as Lawrence late in the show's original run. 'Ross' was originally written as a film script for the Rank Organization with Dirk Bogarde cast as Lawrence. The project fell through due to a combination of financial difficulties and political turmoil in Iraq where it was to be filmed. A later attempt to adapt the play with Laurence Harvey as Lawrence was scrapped when David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia went into production.
