| Description: |
This anthology contains three of Coward's early plays: "I'll Leave it to You"; "The Young Idea"; and "This Was a Man". The first two of the plays - the first of Coward's to ever be produced - were enthusiastically acclaimed on their release. The third was banned for "facetious adultery". |
| Synopsis: |
The eighth volume in the Coward Collection includes I'll Leave It To You and The Young Idea, the first of Coward's plays ever to be produced. These were, as he said, "enthusiastically acclaimed by the critics and ran five weeks and eight weeks respectively. In both of them I appeared with the utmost determination." This Was a Man, a slightly later play, was written in 1926, after the successes which made his name. It was originally banned by the Lord Chamberlain "for facetious adultery". |
