Coward's opinions were as sharp and entertaining as his plays and his lyrics. This book includes essays, interviews, diary entries, verse, his views on his fellow playwrights; the critics (many of whom irritated him over the years but came to admire him); the plays he wrote; the producers who crossed his path; the actors in the Coward galaxy; and his views on the art of acting. Also included are his experience in, and thoughts on—revue, cabaret, television, and musical theater, and much more. Ingeniously, deftly compiled, edited, and annotated by Barry Day, Coward authority and editor of The Noel Coward Reader and The Letters of Noel Coward.
