Tonight at 8.30 - Hands Across the Sea/The Astonished Heart/Still Life archiveGuildhall School actors will perform three of ten original one-act plays set in 1936 showing familiar and surprising facets of Noël Coward's range. The first, Hands Across the Sea, is a virtuoso high comedy based on the social life of Coward's friends, Louis and Edwina Mountbatten. The Astonished Heart is a psychodrama following the emotional state of a psychiatrist obsessed by a much younger woman who ultimately does not reciprocate his feelings. A railway station is the setting for three separate love stories in Still Life, which tell of betrayal and adultery, later to be adapted on screen as 'Brief Encounters', often considered to be one of the most romantic films of all times.
