Noël Coward’s witty and passionate 1930s comedy centres on a group of bohemians for whom three is not a crowd.

From the garrets of Paris to the penthouses of Manhattan, a tempestuous love triangle plays out between the artist Otto, the playwright Leo and the interior designer Gilda – three people who are irresistibly and unashamedly drawn to each other.

Caroline Leslie (The Herbal Bed) directs this latest production in the Playhouse’s top-notch revivals of classic English dramas that has included Private Lives, The Constant Wife and The Winslow Boy.

Running Time: Approx. 2hrs 40mins including one interval

The production looks and sounds sumptuous... plenty of razor-sharp and bristling dialogue

What's On Stage (Jan 2012)  4 Star Rating

Caroline Leslie's polished revival lets Coward's wit shine through

The Stage (Jan 2012)

The art-deco palatial New York apartment earns gasps of appreciation

What's On Stage (Jan 2012)

The central performances are spellbinding
