Spanning seven decades, from his precocious childhood entries to his final reflections in the 1970s, these journals offer an unparalleled glimpse behind the curtain of 20th-century theatre and high society. Edited by Graham Payn and Sheridan Morley, each volume brims with Coward’s trademark wit, insider anecdotes of London’s glittering stage life, candid portraits of contemporaries (from Gertrude Lawrence to Laurence Olivier), and the day-to-day rhythms of an artist at work. Whether you’re a fan of dramatic history, vintage style, or simply love a story well told, The Noël Coward Diaries is an essential companion to one of Britain’s most dazzling cultural icons.
