Great Memoir From Theatre GiantBy Thomas C BallWonderful book and how great to have a follow up from him as well on the later part of his life. Noel Coward one of the giants in music and theatre; and one of the great wits of our time; sharing his story in his own words. Cant wait to read the second book also penned by him.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Noel Cowards first Autobiography of his first 34 years; written at that time.By Dana SkolfieldNoel Cowards Present Indicative a wonderful read to return to after many years - Cowards plays and films very much a part of our lives in early college days as theatre students (UCLA) - the closing chapters are the best as Coward produces and writes "Cavalcade"
