Tonight at 8:30

By Noel Coward

‘McIntyre and her team show off the range of Coward's writing...with verve and aplomb’ Financial Times
‘What better way to celebrate Noel Coward than with these rarely seen short plays? Each one brings their own flavour to a cocktail of theatrical delights’ WhatsOnStage
‘Masterful...a banquet of souffles ’ The Guardian
‘McIntyre brings out the underlying sense of yearning...the thrill of desire...’ The Stage
‘A major theatrical feast’ Telegraph
‘ETT's stylish and refreshingly diverse revival."’ Richmond Magazine

From the pen of the inimitable and ever popular Noel Coward comes this exquisite collection of nine one-act plays.

From the pen of the inimitable and ever popular Noel Coward comes this exquisite collection of nine one-act plays performed together, three plays per night, for the first time in the UK since Coward starred in them in 1936. From vaudeville to satire, from farce to intricate comedy of manners, from melodrama to romance, these plays span the full, glorious range of Coward’s writing. Peep through your fingers at the chaotic Red Peppers music-hall show, witness a bankrupt couple use Ways and Means to scheme their way out of debt, and break your heart along with Laura in the famous Still Life, the original version of the film Brief Encounter.

 


An English Touring Theatre and The Nuffield, Southampton co-production.
