Noel Coward
Book (italiano):
<DIV><P>In<br>the 1920s and 1930s Noël Coward mastered and defined the art of the<br>revue sketch - short and often topical or satirical stage pieces, many<br>of which were a lead-in to his famous songs. He wrote these sketches<br>for the top revues of the 1920s and 1930s, including <I>London Calling!<br></I>(1923) and Cochrane's Revue of 1931. This volume collects Coward's best<br>and most witty pieces, including <I>Rain Before Seven</I>, the only sketch he<br>performed with Gertrude Lawrence, and the hilarious parody, <I>Some Other<br>Private Lives</I>, in which Coward burlesques his own famous play, <I>Private<br>Lives</I>. Also included are short one-act plays never before published.<br>The collection includes an Introduction by Coward scholar Barry Day,<br>setting the work in the context of its time and its dramatic form. A<br>forgotten area of Coward's writing is now back in print.</P></DIV>
