A NIGHT OF THREE PLAYS BY NOEL COWARD
Directed by NWSA's theater faculty Gail Garrisan, the college division will present a selection of works from the renowned English playwright, composer, director, actor Noel Coward, reflecting two aspects of British society familiar to the witty artist. The short plays to be presented include Red Peppers, a sassy satire of old English Music Halls, where, as a child actor, he spent a good deal of his youth. Also presented are We Were Dancing and Hands Across the Sea, a production that offers a glimpse of the other end of the social spectrum where Coward was a fixture following his early success as a playwright.
