Noel Coward screenplays

BOOK
Future Indefinite
The definitive account, in his own words, of one of the most popular figures in British theatre. The second and concluding volume of Noël Coward’s legendary autobiography includes Future Indefinite and the unfinished Past Unconditional. With his trademark wit, Coward delivers anecdotes about his travels in South America, Hollywood encounters with an array of contemporary stars and directors, and his later theatrical successes, including the Broadway triumph of Design For Living. The showbiz glamour aside, we also encounter a middle-aged man coming to terms with a world in disarray; his confused feelings towards the war and his own part in it exposing a more serious and thoughtful side to a performer and raconteur more usually associated with frivolity. Future Indefinite sees Coward transformed from a ‘brazen odious little prodigy’ into one of the most exuberant characters in British theatrical history. “His writing is superb, his precise languid drawl put down on the page” Daily Express
