An Improbable Farce

When Charles arranges a séance in his home as research for his upcoming novel, scatterbrained psychic Madame Arcati accidentally summons the spirit of his late wife, Elvira—which infuriates his current wife, Ruth. Charles suddenly finds himself caught in a supernatural love triangle and his attempts to fix the situation only make things worse. Filled with sparkling wit and hysterical hauntings, Noël Coward's irreverent classic comedy will provide an otherworldly alternative to your usual holiday fare, and appeal to anyone who ever longed to see Downton Abbey go completely off the rails.

One of Coward's indisputable comic masterpieces

Coward 125 is a two-year celebration of the enduring legacy of Sir Noël Coward (1899-1973). From humble beginnings, Coward would achieve international recognition for his work as a playwright, composer, director, actor, and singer, as well as for his incomparable wit and effortless style. Coward’s work continues to enthrall and delight audiences and, 50 years after his death, his popularity endures with his work constantly staged around the world. 
   
The Noël Coward Foundation supports educational and professional development projects across the Arts and continues Coward’s own commitment to charitable work during his lifetime. The Foundation is proud to support a diverse range of outstanding organizations working in theater, music, playwriting, technical training, academic research, and many other areas.
