"A Song at Twilight is Noel Coward's theatrical farewell. In typical Coward fashion, men think only they are in control while women know they wield the real power - obliquely when possible, ruthlessly when necessary," said Margot Harley,Producing Artistic Director of The Acting Company. "We are honored to be included in the Coward Festival being celebrated all over the City and are deeply grateful to the Noel Coward Foundation for their support."
