Noël Coward

- You get a wonderfully sharp weekend of theatrical selfishness as the Bliss family invites guests, then promptly ignores them for their own dramas. The play is knowingly artificial and very funny, though its elegant, brittle chatter may leave you cold if you need sympathetic characters.
- You get sharp, brittle dialogue and a surprisingly bruised family drama, with Nicky’s drug use exposing the rot beneath his mother Florence’s glamorous social life. It’s melodramatic and a little dated, but Coward’s cruelty and comic timing make the emotional collisions land.
