An interlude with music by Noel Coward
The action passes on the stage, in a dressing-room, and on the stage again of a provincial music-hall
The Revue Orchestra
Leader, Boris Pecker
Conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
Production by Reginald Smith
This little episode is a typical example on Noel Coward 's versatility. While he can on the one hand write with moving sincerity on human affairs, he can on the other pull the human leg with almost diabolical skill.
Red Peppers is an episode in the lives of a typical 'husband and wife ' third-rate music-hall act. For years these two, known professionally as the Red Peppers, have toured provincial theatres of Britain. With piercing satire Coward shows you the act on the stage, and the same act behind the scenes.
Red Peppers was one of the short plays in Tonight at 8.30, produced in the West End a year or two ago. Red Peppers was produced twice for television.
