Making Dickie Happy
T0
Young Noel Coward and his boyfriend, Tono; young 'Dickie' Mountbatten and a naval chum, and youngish Agatha Christie, mysteriously alone and using another name, all find themselves at an hotel on an island off the Devon coast soon after the end of the First World War. The results of this curious gathering are at the heart of Jeremy Kingston s new play, whose premiere coincides with the 25th anniversary of Mountbatten s death. The weekend is fictitious, the people real; this look at relationships, marriages, engagements, promises, hellos and goodbyes is never less than fascinating.
