  • Summary

  • On the eve of A Marvellous Party, a star-filled gala to celebrate Noël Coward, Sarah Crompton talks to producer Julian Bird and Coward’s biographer Oliver Soden about Coward’s importance today. They discuss the range of his talent as a playwright, songwriter, screen writer, diarist and poet and why the image of him as a comfortable man in a dressing gown couldn’t be further from the truth. Did you know that he coined the word gay or that there were people storming out of his plays because he was so shocking? It’s all part of realising that he is more relevant and necessary than ever.
