The plays in this volume demonstrate the extraordinary skill andversatility Cowards writing achieved in the late 1920s.The volume containshis best-loved classic; Private Lives; which was an immeditate hit whenit was first staged in 1930. Cowards sparkling dialogue and reparteehave ensured the plays popularity ever since. Of Bitter-Sweet in 1929 Noeuml;l Coward wrote that it was "a musical that gaveme more complete satisfaction than anything else I had yet written. Notespecially on acount of its dialogue or its lyrics or its music or itsproduction but as a whole." The Marquise is an "eighteenth centurycomedy" filled with maids and duels; whilst Post-Mortem is avilification of war that contains some of Cowards most powerfulwriting.
