Coward Plays: 2 : Private Lives; Bitter-Sweet; The Marquise; Post-Mortem Paperback / softback
by Noel Coward
Part of the World Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
The plays in this volume demonstrate the extraordinary skill and versatility Coward's writing achieved in the late 1920s.
The volume contains his best-loved classic, Private Lives, which was an immeditate hit when it was first staged in 1930.
Coward's sparkling dialogue and repartee have ensured the play's popularity ever since.
Of Bitter-Sweet in 1929 Noel Coward wrote that it was "a musical that gave me more complete satisfaction than anything else I had yet written.
Not especially on acount of its dialogue or its lyrics or its music or its production but as a whole." The Marquise is an "eighteenth century comedy" filled with maids and duels, whilst Post-Mortem is a vilification of war that contains some of Coward's most powerful writing.
