Относительные ценности Ноэль Коуард
Язык: Русский Комедийная пьеса "Относительные ценности" - это острая сатира на снобизм во всех его проявлениях. Речь идет о конфликте между голливудскими звездами и английскими аристократами и об «известном и неточном допущении, что если мы равны в глазах бога, то должны быть равны и в глазах людей».

The Vortex Ноэл Кауард
ISBN: 9780413773098 Год издания: 2013 Издательство: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama Язык: Английский Review All the anxiety of the early 1920s, post-war twitchiness glossed by martinis and mannered cigarettes, is caught in Noel Coward's The Vortex. His central characters are like specks of dirt approaching the plughole of a draining bath. The closer they get to the hole, the faster they spiral. Daily Mail One of the mysterious things about Noel Coward, and one of the sure indications that he is a great writer, is that he constantly takes you by surprise. Daily Telegraph The Vortex (1924) was the play that made his name and firmly established him as both a dramatist and an actor - he'd been at pains to ensure the play included "a whacking…

This Was a Man Noel Coward
ISBN: 9780573114427 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Книга по Требованию Язык: Английский Edward Churt is a successful painter. His wife Carol has a 'vivid personality composed of a minimum of intellect and a maximum of sex'. Increasingly aware of her infidelity, Edward defends himself with a veneer of sophisticated insouciance. But his best friend and army comrade is determined to avenge him... This Was A Man explores some of Coward's lifelong themes of social mores, jealousy and the futility of a life with no moral compass. Can good manners emasculate us? What happens when we repress our inner caveman? Is it more courageous to look away or to face our demons and fight? What, indeed, does it mean to be a man? Banned by the Lord Chamberlain in 1926 for its facetious and irreverent treatment of adultery, This Was A Man was not performed professionally in the UK until its debut at the Finborough Theatre in 2014. This is the first time the play has been published as a single volume in the UK. -

Semi Monde Ноэл Кауард
ISBN: 0413763005 Год издания: 2001 Издательство: Methuen Drama Язык: Английский The first single edition of Noël Coward's most controversial play.
"Only
in Semi-Monde does Coward find a successful metaphor for the sexual
complications that lie behind his posturing. Semi-Monde is easily the
most visually daring of his comedies, and the most intellectually
startling ... made up of sexually mischievous tableaux
vivants and gets much nearer the homosexual knuckle than Coward's
public image allowed." - (John Lahr, London Review of Books)
Written
in 1926 and originally entitled Ritz Bar, Semi-Monde was considered too
daring for its time: "its production in London or New York seemed
unlikely as some of the characters, owing to lightly suggested
abnormalities, would certainly be deleted by the censor" (Noël Coward,
Present Indicative). The play finally received its public premiere only
after Coward's death, at the Citizen's Theatre, Glasgow, in September
1977. -
