    In
    the 1920s and 1930s Noël Coward mastered and defined the art of the
    revue sketch - short and often topical or satirical stage pieces, many
    of which were a lead-in to his famous songs. He wrote these sketches
    for the top revues of the 1920s and 1930s, including London Calling!
    (1923) and Cochrane's Revue of 1931. This volume collects Coward's best
    and most witty pieces, including Rain Before Seven, the only sketch he
    performed with Gertrude Lawrence, and the hilarious parody, Some Other
    Private Lives    , in which Coward burlesques his own famous play, Private
    Lives    . Also included are short one-act plays never before published.
    The collection includes an Introduction by Coward scholar Barry Day,
    setting the work in the context of its time and its dramatic form. A
    forgotten area of Coward's writing is now back in print.
