Philip Hoare, in his biography of Coward described Semi-Monde as his most daring play to date. In a chic Parisian hotel, a series of sexual
pairings take place through rendezvous, arguments, infidelities and
reconciliations: sexual deviance is undisguised...set in the bisexual
1920s, the play could easily be populated by characters of Coward's
Point Valaine is the
drama of a lurid episode of lust in the semi-tropics.. unmistakably the
work of a master of the stage (New York Times); South Sea Bubble which
concerns the Governor's lady in the Isle of Samolo who plays with
native fire, nearly gets her wings singed, bashes her native admirer
with a bottle and at one of those Coward next-morning-at breakfast
scenes slips her way out of the scrape with feline grace. (Manchester
Guardian) whilst Nude With Violin is a witty comedy about art fraud.
