Synopsis
Containing Coward's best work from the last two decades of his life,
this volume includes Relative Values, which ran for over a year in
1951-2, Look After Lulu (1959), his perennially popular Feydeau
adaptation, Waiting in the Wings (1960), a bravura piece set in a home
for retired actresses, and Suite in Three Keys (1965), a trilogy of
plays which gave Coward his last roles on stage.
The volume is
introduced by Sheridan Morley, Coward's first biographer, and includes
an extensive chronology of Coward's work.
