One of Coward's best-loved classics in a single-play edition
Coward's wit and precision as a modern dramatist is nowhere better
exemplified than in this classic modern plays from 1930. Elyot Chase and
Amanda Prynne (originally played by Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward),
recently divorced from one another five years previously, arrive
coincidentally at the same French hotel. They are honeymooning with
their respective new spouses. Encountering one another by chance, each
is at once horrified and fascinated by the other. Together they leave
for Paris and begin a roundelay of quarrels and love intrigues that
culminate in their getting back together.
