Overview

Following Sir Noel Coward's death in March 1973, the Mermaid Theatre produced an entertainment, Cowardy Custard, which brought together much of the best, and some of the less familiar, of Sir Noel's lyrics and poems, with snatches of dialogue from the plays and passages of autobiography.

Part of a back to back double bill with Company presented to fill the hole left by the temporary closure of Richmond Theatre for refurbishment.

This production was revived for one night only in December 1989 at the Kitson Hall, Barnes in aid of the Barn Elms Wildfowl Campaign. On this occasion Ian Davies replaced Alex Somerville.
