A Choice Of Coward: 'The Gayest Thing I've Ever Watched'

A Choice of Coward is a mini-season of works by Noel Coward within the ITV Play of the Week strand, made at Granada under the steely eye of one of British television's most formidable directors, Joan Kemp-Welch. The plays are introduced by the author in as suave a manner as one could hope for - cravat, cigarette and all (he's not seen to actually smoke the cigarette, of course - that would impede the flow of his monologue). Coward cheerfully admits to have written tonight's play purely to give himself a meaty starring role, and professes (with a roguish twinkle) to have been horrified when it received excellent critical notices...
