Coward Plays: 2 : Private Lives; Bitter-Sweet; the Marquise; Post-Mortem EPUB
by Noel Coward
Part of the World Classics series
EPUB
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 No l 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.
