The love and friendship between two married couples and best friends are put to the test when a postcard arrives with a picture of Capri on one side, and on the other, news of the imminent arrival of a certain handsome Frenchman.
Press Reviews
"A fine piece of Coward writing: witty, trenchant, superficially frothy but actually questioning the empty lives led by these indolent privileged people."
— The Observer
"[A] giddy comedy of manners… Lurking beneath Coward’s commentary on marriage is a wry aside on the class system."
— The New York Times
"Heavenly… a sublimely entertaining evening at the theatre."
— Broadway World
"Witty and often barbed interchanges… [with] funny lines and zingers aplenty from Coward."
— DC Theater Arts
"Great fun… a fizzy, amusing comedy of manners."
— Berkeleyside
