The Life and Times of Sir Noel Coward
A series in 13 parts
The theatre must be treated with respect. It is a house of strange enchantment, a temple of dreams. What it most emphatically is not, and never will be, is a scruffy ill-lit drill hall serving as a soapbox for political propaganda.
In the tenth programme. Sir Noel's career as an actor, play-wright. composer and director is traced through the critically uncertain years immediately following the war and through shows like Sigh No More, Pacific 1860 and Ace of Clubs.
