One of the most renowned bon vivants of the dinner party circuit in the 1920’s was the urbane and sophisticated Noel Coward, the son of a failed piano salesman who wrote about the rich with such wit and insight that they simply assumed he was one of them. So impeccable were his skills at self-creation with his “thin veneer of sophistication,” his persona was not only the inspiration for Cary Grant, but scores of others hoping to copy his inimitable style.
Coward claimed that he habit of... Read Full Story

This is a play I know well, having been co-producer of it at one time. It is an extremely funny play, with the larger then life eccentric Bliss family, made up of actress mother, writer father and two wild grown up children. This particular cast – Belinda Lang (Judith Bliss), Ben Keaton (David Bliss), Fiona Button (Sorel Bliss), Dorothea Myer-Bennett (Jackie Coryton), Simon Bubb (Sandy Tyrell), Lysette Anthony (Myra Arundel), Simon Treves (Richard Greatham) and Tessa Bell-Briggs (Clara...

Yep, it’s hard to get your kicks if you’re waitin’ around for the rather slim possibility of even a third rate Algonquin Round Table, desperate for some sparkling and invigorating Dorothy Parker and Noel Coward style conversation.

From Noel Coward Collected Verse
Deep in our sub-conscious, we are told
Lie all our memories, lie all the notes
Of all the music we have ever heard
And all the phrases those we loved have spoken,
Sorrows and losses time has since consoled,

Each sentimental souvenir and token
Everything seen, experienced, each word
Addressed to us in infancy, before
