To give somebody a roasting
Variantes
To speak clearly, to tell somebody what we really think, directly, even if it can annoy him or her.

Maugham goes on to give a roasting to Patrick and his companions in a play whose first two acts zing with a ferocity that sometimes borders on the surreal as one by one normal conventions are over-turned.
