Star Quality - by Noel Coward

Coward's 'forgotten' play, published to tie in with its world premiere

In

his wickedly funny final play, NöeI Coward takes us behind the scenes

of a new West End production. Conjuring up an authentic backstage world

of talent and treachery, Coward creates a gallery of unforgettable

characters; temperamental leading lady, ruthless director, jaded old

troupers and, caught somewhere between them all, innocent young

playwright. From tentative first rehearsal to triumphant opening night,

the clash of egos becomes increasingly and hilariously bloody. But what

emerges from the mayhem is a startling evocation of that most elusive

gift of all - star quality.
