Coward's 'forgotten' play, published to tie in with its world
premiere
In
his wickedly funny final play, NoeI Coward takes us behind the
scenes
of a new West End production. Conjuring up an authentic backstage
world
of talent and treachery, Coward creates a gallery of
unforgettable
characters; temperamental leading lady, ruthless director, jaded
old
troupers and, caught somewhere between them all, innocent
young
playwright. From tentative first rehearsal to triumphant opening
night,
the clash of egos becomes increasingly and hilariously bloody. But
what
emerges from the mayhem is a startling evocation of that most
elusive
gift of all - star quality.
This edition, adapted by Chris
Luscombe and introduced by Sheridan Morley, is published to
coincide
with the play's West End premiere in October 2001.
