... for I believe that since my life began the most I've had is just a talent to amuse
In that belief Sir Noël Coward spent more than half a century outraging, surprising, dazzling, irritating and occasionally educating audiences, colleagues, critics and friends.
Sheridan Morley , Coward's biographer, attempts to separate the public image from the private life. The memories of SIR JOHN GIELGUD , SIR LAURENCE OLIVIER , MICHEÁL MAC LIAMMÓIR, KENNETH TYNAN and KENNETH WILLIAMS , among others, are linked by the words and music of Coward himself.
