BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By Noel Coward.
With Harriet Walter as Florence Lancaster and Paul Rhys as Nicky.

The critic James Agate wrote of the play on its first production in 1924, "There is the imprint of truth upon this play. The craftmanship is superb, the dialogue is taut and spare... shimmering with wit."
