Showlist C

Cover to OLC RecordingCOWARDY CUSTARD

An entertainment devised by Gerald Frow, Alan Strachan, and Wendy Toye featuring the Words and Music of Noel Coward

Produced at the Mermaid Theatre, London, 1972


This kaleidoscopic revue of Noel Coward's music and sketches originally used a cast of twelve (six men and six women) although this can be increased. The setting can be as simple or elaborate as the stage allows. Full details are given in the acting edition of the set used in the London production as well as directions for dividing up the singing and acting roles.
