"Its fusion of passion and mischief remains striking and there is
something undeniably heady about its celebration of a kind of
sexual liberation that looks a lot like flippancy" - Evening
Standard From 1930s bohemian Paris to the dizzying heights of
Manhattan society, a tempestuous love triangle unravels between a
vivacious interior designer, Gilda, playwright Leo and artist Otto
- three people unashamedly and passionately in love with each
other. But can such a lavish love affair survive the real world?
Exploring themes of bisexuality, celebrity, success and
self-obsession, Design for Living is a stylish and scandalous
comedy, that is often revered as Coward's most controversial and
risqué work. This new edition is published in Methuen Drama's
iconic Modern Classics series to coincide with the 50th anniversary
of Coward's death and features a new introduction by Oliver Soden.
