Indulge in an
abundance of wit! A master playwright, filmmaker, actor,
novelist, lyricist and composer, Sir No?l Coward dominated the British as
well as the Broadway stage of the 1920s and ?30s. His plays are as popular
today as when they were first performed, and continue to inspire modern
theatre companies. Featured are star-studded BBC productions of the
complete Tonight at 8:30 series with Joan Collins (Dynasty), Private Lives
with Penelope Keith (To The Manor Born), Hay Fever with Paul Eddington
(Good Neighbors), Hugh Laurie (House) in Mrs. Capper?s Birthday and
Deborah Kerr (From Here to Eternity) in A Song At Twilight, plus the
controversial sensation The Vortex. Extras include interviews; six radio
plays, including Hay Fever, starring Dame Judi Dench; profiles; and
