He wrote these sketches for the top revues of the 1920s and 1930s, including \u003ci\u003eLondon Calling! \u003c\/i\u003e(1923) and Cochrane's Revue of 1931. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume collects Coward's best and most witty pieces, including \u003ci\u003eRain Before Seven\u003c\/i\u003e, the only sketch he performed with Gertrude Lawrence, and the hilarious parody, \u003ci\u003eSome Other Private Lives\u003c\/i\u003e, in which Coward burlesques his own famous play, \u003ci\u003ePrivate Lives\u003c\/i\u003e. Also included are short one-act plays never before published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe collection includes an Introduction by Coward scholar Barry Day, setting the work in the context of its time and its dramatic form.
