I was talking to some friends about Noel Coward in the summer, remembering the plays of his I'd seen, and wondering if perhaps I didn't need to see any more of them. I have no recollection of seeing this. Last year I read Peter Hall's diaries about running the National Theatre - don't bother, it's endless moaning about the building and funding, and everyone is a shit - and I assumed I'd never been lucky enough to see something he'd directed when I had but had just forgotten it, which is not a good review.
