  • Relative Values is a three-act comedy by Noël Coward. A satire of snobbery in all its guises, it deals with the clash of cultures between Hollywood stars and the English aristocracy, and with "the ancient and inaccurate assumption that, as we are equal in the eyes of God, we should be equal in the eyes of our fellow creatures."
    It was first produced in London in 1951 with success, enjoyed several revivals and was made into a film in 2000.

    I don't live in the UK and am having to make some painful decisions which keep me awake most nights. These wonderful plays, especially by NC, help keep me sane. May 2024

      Many people "don't live in the UK". I'm told it's not a fatal condition.

    Classic Coward script and ensemble piece..... following the comedic style of PG Wodehouse and which one can listen to time and time again...set in 1951 and incidentally, this was broadcast on Radio 4 on 8th May, 1976.

    Very funny, very witty, very entertaining. And what a complete social snob Coward was to be sure.

    • @suemclean2670

      Very funny parody! Noel Coward saw flaws, prejudice and all sorts of implications in entertaining places - on both sides of the social divide. Have a genteel laugh!

    Noel Coward was a charmer as a writer he was Brahma Velvet jackets and pyjamas The Gay Divorcee and other dramas...

    @morganlowe3353 3 года назад +2

    I usually can tell when someone is pulling an American accent when they're British this was awesome both of these characters did so well the only thing that gave them away was putting an r at the end of Miranda.

    • @nedludd7622
      @nedludd7622 3 года назад

      The actress, Joanna Wake, plays an English girl who went to the U.S. and definitely has an English accent. The actor, John Rowe, does have a convincing accent.

    Enjoyed it. Noel Coward was such a social climbing snob but witty with it at least as he played the toad to the over privileged

    • @louiseskip3488
      @louiseskip3488 Год назад

      @AMT very true. Didn't he write theatre plays. There's an audio series of books named Her Royal Spyness. Set in 1930s England set around the upper class and RF and Noel features in a few books, it's non fiction and delicious and naughty. You may enjoy them.

    This sounds like a Meghan and Harry story. The style of this reminds me of 19th century French comedy by Eugène Labiche and Georges Feydeau.

    Not prime Coward I'm afraid. A tepid rehash of previous themes . The
    characters are barely 2 dimensional and his usual sparkling wit seems to
    have dried up. Listen to Private Lives then compare the two ?

    Where is the Coward wit?..This appears laboured as the plot tries to gain any credibility.
