"I suggest that the reader makes up a little rhythm in his head to fit the words". [Explanatory Preface, p.15.]
Playwright, actor and composer Noel Coward (1899-1973) captured the disillusion of a generation hardened by World War One and was renown for being a master of the comedy of manners. He participated in every aspect of the theatre; producing, directing, dancing, and singing as well as holding an intimate position with his successful cinematic pursuits in which he wrote, directed and acted.
Collected Sketches and Lyrics features previously unknown works alongside his most acclaimed ventures.
