Noël Coward’s Star Quality at the New Theatre, Cardiff
Noël Coward’s deliciously funny final play, Star Quality, comes to the New Theatre from Tuesday 7 – Saturday 11 February starring Liza Goddard and Daniel Casey. Adapted by Christopher Luscombe, whose credits as a director include The Madness of King George and The History Boys, and directed by Joe Harmston, this dazzling production of Star Quality is a fitting farewell from the master of the stage.
Set in 1951, Star Quality takes the audience behind the scenes of a new West End production. Coward conjures up a wickedly observant satire of the backstage world of talent and treachery and a gallery of unforgettable characters; a temperamental leading lady, a ruthless director, jaded old troupers and, caught somewhere between them all, an innocent young playwright.
From tentative first rehearsal to triumphant opening night, both leading lady and director are determined to get their own way and the resulting clash of egos becomes increasingly and hilariously bloody. Bursting with Coward charm, what emerges from the mayhem of biting wit, hissy fits and fisticuffs is a startling evocation of that most elusive gift of all – star quality.
