At Shaw Festival, Brushing Up Their Coward With ‘Tonight at 8 - 30’

NYTimes.com: "In a prodigious theatrical feat that Noël Coward undoubtedly would have toasted with some bubbly, the Shaw Festival in Ontario is staging his collection of one acts known as “Tonight at 8:30.” The plays, several of which include his songs and lyrics and one of which inspired the film 'Brief Encounter,' have not been performed in simultaneous repertory since their London premiere 73 years ago. And like a tuxedo jacket — except the ones that Coward wore constantly — most are rarely dusted off for the public to admire."
