Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interwar English playwright Noël Coward is best known for his highly polished comedies of manners, including the enduring masterpieces ‘The Vortex’, ‘Hay Fever’, ‘Present Laughter’ and ‘Blithe Spirit’. His plays caught the clipped speech and brittle disillusion of the generation that emerged from the Great War, while his popular songs and revues struck the world-weary note of his times. An indefatigable genius, he performed almost every function in the theatre, including producing, directing, dancing, singing and acting, as well as directing motion pictures. This eBook presents Coward’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
