Literary Agent: Alan Brodie Representation Ltd |
Born in England to a very "musical" family. His father was a piano salesman. When his brother (the favorite) died, his mother devoted her live to him. He loved to sing, dance, and perform- he would have tantrums if he could not entertain! The most famous writer after WWI because his "frothy romps" (comedies) were so entertaining. Was gay. Made fun of the upper class; his plays were like British I Love Lucy episodes. He eventually moved to NYC where he discovered, and loved, American theatre. *Themes: vanity and drug abuse of the upper class.

Still upset with her husband Lady W agrees to visit the dashing Lord Darlington in his apartments. Mrs Erlynne hears of this and rushes to Darlington's home to beg her daughter not to do what she had and ruin her reputation. As the two women talk Lord Windermere is announced - the women hide.

Upon entering this domain, their unsuspecting weekend guests an upright diplomat, a shy flapper, an athletic boxer, and a fashionable sophisticate are repeatedly thrown into wildly melodramatic situations by their hosts. The resulting pandemonium is a joy to witness. | |||||

Synopsis: | this is the first play Coward wrote. in 1918, when he was no older than the century, and even for a teenager as knowledgeable in the ways of the world as the adolescent Coward the marital troubles of his central couple show a firm grasp of the realities and an instinct for how to dramatise them. No one mentions the war. It could be happening on another planet. What interests Coward is love, marriage and the likely impossibility of either of these surviving when both the partners possess what he calls the "artistic temperament". We first meet Sheila and Keld on the eve of their wedding, she a suecessful novelist, he an aspiring playwright. She is warned by her mannish friend Olive that one or the other of them will have to abandon writing if the union is to work, and we watch this come to pass over the next two years. | |||||

Synopsis: | Written as a vehicle for Coward's own acting talents alongside his frequent stage partner Gertrude Lawrence, Tonight at 8:30 is Coward's ambitious series of ten one-act plays which saw him breathe new life into the one-act form. First performed in London in 1936, the plays perfectly showcase Coward's talents as a playwright, providing a sparkling, fast-paced and remarkably varied selection of theatrical gems. | |||||

Synopsis: | IF Noel Coward seems unsure of his own voice in this previously unperformed play from 1955, it is exactly this that makes it interesting. Set among adulterous colonial ex-pats in the West Indies puffing cigarettes and sinking Martinis for England, we are on familiar Cowardly ground. At the centre is an unrequited love rhombus as plantation owner Adela is wooed by swarthy, moustachioed lady killer Guy. Meanwhile, Guy's acid-tongued wife Melissa has overcome a tide of phobias to fly out and see off Adela, but doesn't count on inadvertent support from lovelorn Ellen - gorgeously described by neighbours as "a nice enough girl, but a bit of a fat-head emotionally". As for the fulminating volcano offstage, you don't need to be a Freudian psychotherapist to work that one out. | |||||

Notes: | ||||||
Synopsis: | The play itself is a quaint historical document: one in which Coward views the hectic decadence of the twenties upper-crust with his familiar mixture of fascination and finger-wagging censoriousness. The chief obiect of his disapproval is Florence Lancaster: an ageing beauty who cavorts with a succession of toyboys to keep the years at bay. But Coward's emotional interest lies in the devastating effect this has on her son, Nicky. Returning to London from a life of Parisian dissipation, Nicky not only loses his fiancee to Flo's latest beau. He also, in a scene reminiscent of that in Gertrude's closet, forces his mother to confiont the vanity of her desires. | |||||
