Items related to Coward (Life & Times)
Noel Coward (1899-1973), playwright and actor, personified an elegant, witty and faintly outrageous way of life between the wars. He first achieved fame starring in his own play The Vortex in 1924, which he followed with Hay Fever (1925) and Private Lives (1930). A patriotic vein evident in his stage extravaganza Cavalcade (1931) came into its own with the wartime fim In Which We Serve (1942); from the same period is his classic Brief Encounter (1945). He was also an accomplished cabaret performer, singing at the piano his own lyrics such as 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen (out in the midday sun)'.

Review:
‘[Morley] reminds us of a time when Coward plays such as The Vortex were considered cutting edge in their treatment of sexuality and drugs. . . . Illustrated with some well-chosen photographs, Morley’s Coward is quite as diverting as the finest work of the Master himself.’ (Barry Forshaw The Independent)
