'Coward''s ''forgotten'' play, published to tie in with its world premiere. In his wickedly funny final play, NoeI Coward takes us behind the scenes of a new West End production. Conjuring up an authentic backstage world of talent and treachery, Coward creates a gallery of unforgettable characters; temperamental leading lady, ruthless director, jaded old troupers and, caught somewhere between them all, innocent young playwright. From tentative first rehearsal to triumphant opening night, the clash of egos becomes increasingly and hilariously bloody. But what emerges from the mayhem is a startling evocation of that most elusive gift of all - star quality. This edition, adapted by Chris Luscombe and introduced by Sheridan Morley, is published to coincide with the play''s West End premiere in October 2001.'

I think I started this about 3 months ago. At least it is a short story collection so picking it up and down wasn't quite so bad. I was looking more for a frothy P.G. Wodehouse type thing but, once I got into the swing of it, found the acerbic satire really very enjoyable. It's amazing how much I recall from just one viewing of Star Quality on Masterpiece Theatre eons ago, the stories really did come flying back.
