Description

Tonight at 8:30 is a collection of ten one-act plays by Noël Coward, showcasing his remarkable range and talents as a playwright. From vaudeville to satire, farce to intricate comedy of manners, these plays span the full spectrum of Coward's writing. The first series of three plays was written with characteristic delight, and features a chaotic music-hall show, a bankrupt couple's schemes to escape debt, and a heart-wrenching romance in Still Life. This new edition of Tonight at 8:30 includes both Coward's own preface and an introduction by Barry Day, offering a unique insight into the playwright's work. This volume brings together all ten plays for the first time, featuring a sparkling and varied selection of theatrical gems that have been revived in the UK with English Touring Theatre and Nuffield Southampton.
