Last year, Judith retired from her life on stage. Already, she misses the applause. Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family - reclusive novelist husband David and failure-to-launch children Sorrel and Simon - are too self-involved to be a good audience. So,Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But, unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses have a guest of their own arriving at the very same time. Completely unsuited to hosting and allergic to compromise, the house quickly erupts into a chaos of parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores. This edition of Noël Coward's irresistible comedy of manners was published to coincide with the Delfont Mackintosh Theatre production in September 2026, starring Christine Baranski and Richard E. Grant.
Noël Coward was born in 1899 in Teddington, Middlesex. He made his name as a playwright with The Vortex (1924), in which he also appeared. His numerous other successful plays included Fallen Angels (1925), Hay Fever (1925), Private Lives (1933), Design for Living (1933) and Blithe Spirit (1941). During the war he wrote screenplays such as Brief Encounter (1944) and In Which We Serve (1942). In the fifties he began a new career as a cabaret entertainer. He published volumes of verse and a novel (Pomp and Circumstance, 1960), two volumes of autobiography and four volumes of short stories: To Step Aside (1939), Star Quality (1951), Pretty Polly Barlow (1964) and Bon Voyage (1967). He was knighted in 1970 and died three years later in Jamaica.
