Based on Barry Day's book, Love, Noël: The Letters and Songs of Noël Coward is the dramatic staging of the letters and correspondence of the playwright, director, actor, composer, and singer. Coward's letters span several decades and give you insight to some of his closest relationships with everyone from George Bernard Shaw to Edna Ferber, from the Queen Mother to his own mother, and of course, his constant collaborator, Gertrude Lawrence.

A loving portrait of one of theatre's most influential minds.
