Coward

History

Coward is currently in development and is expected to go into production later in 2008. It was given a staged reading at Soho Theatre in November 2006, to an audience of industry insiders and colleagues.

After this event, the playwright David Eldridge remarked on his blog - "(t)he play's quite an achievement in it's own way as Charlton sets the bar high for himself in creating a fictional Noel Coward - but he pulls it off. I came away thinking his fictional Coward is every bit as successful as Peter Morgan's versions of Frost, Nixon, Longford, Blair and HM the Queen. A fiction yes - but capturing something of the truth of the man I felt. ... an intelligent, accessible play written with dash, wit and real comic brio."

The Soho reading featured Daniel Crossley (Cole Lesley), John Paul Micaleff (Leonard Marlowe) and Adam Napier (Noël Coward).

A promotional brochure for Coward is available here.
