Hay fever: Comedy of manners about a family whose theatrical excesses torment a group of unsuspecting visitors. Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, David Bliss, a novelist, and his wife, Judith, a retired actress, find quiet an impossible dream when their high-spirited children, Simon and Sorel, appear with guests of their own.
The vortex: Florence Lancaster is an ageing social beauty and a serial adulteress, who openly takes beautiful young lovers half her age. Her son Nicky returns from Paris with both his fiancée Bunty, and a serious drug addiction. The Vortex shot Coward to fame in 1924 as both a playwright and a performer.
Fallen angels: Best friends now happily married to others, Julia and Jane both once counted the dashing Frenchman Maurice as their lover. Guess who's back in town and requesting the pleasure of the ladies company?
Easy virtue: Drawing room melodrama with central characters John Whittaker and Larita, the American divorcée he has just married to his mother's great disapproval. Coward's 16th play.
