A full-cast production of two of Noel Coward's glittering and sophisticated comedies.
'Private Lives': Originally written for and performed by Coward himself and Gertrude Lawrence, this sharply funny play of reversals tells the story of Amanda (Imogen Stubbs) and Elyot (Stephen Fry) who were divorced five years ago. Now, on the first night of their honeymoons with their new partners, they discover they are all staying in the same hotel. Fireworks are inevitable.
'Hay Fever': The Bliss family are theatrical, to say the least. When each of them invites a guest to stay for the weekend without notifying the other, mayhem ensues - much to the concern of their unfortunate visitors. Judi Dench stars as Judith Bliss with Michael Williams as David and Celia Imrie as Myra Arundel in a hilarious BBC Radio Production that opens with Noel Coward himself singing "Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage, Mrs Worthington".
