Noel Coward - The Better Half

4 Extra Debut. A wife's selflessness may conceal a hidden agenda. Coward's surprisingly modern comedy of marital disharmony stars Samuel West.

Broadcast premiere of this comedy of marital manners, written by the young Noel Coward. Recently rediscovered, it was considered too racy for public performance in 1922.

Unhappy Alice encourages husband David and best friend Marion to form a liaison. But Alice may have a hidden agenda.

Alice ...... Federay Holmes
Marion ...... Lisa Dillon
David ...... Samuel West

Directed by Martin Jarvis.
