Commentaires : As Sheridan Morley noted in his Theatrical Companion to Coward, this was the first production at the National to be written and directed by a living playwright. Coward directed “a cast that could have played the Albanian telephone directory” with success. Leading the bohemian charge was Edith Evans as Judith Bliss, with Derek Jacobi, Lynn Redgrave, Robert Stephens and Maggie Smith also in the acclaimed mix. After the 1956 revolution of Look Back in Anger and kitchen-sink drama, the revival of this 1924 hit was “largely responsible for the start of the 'Noel Coward Renaissance'”.
