Scroll down to see what the critics say...
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

Reviews
Back to topThe production looks and sounds sumptuous... plenty of razor-sharp and bristling dialogue
