In his wickedly funny final play Noel Coward takes us behind the scenes of a new West End production. Conjuring up a wonderfully authentic backstage world of talent and treachery. Coward creates a gallery of unforgettable characters; temperamental leading lady, ruthless director, jaded old troupers and, caught somewhere between them all, innocent young playwright.

But what emerges from the mayhem is a startling evocation of that most elusive gift of all - star quality| 23 Oct 01 to 23 Mar 02 | Apollo Theatre West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
