The annual Lady Oliver evening lecture, traditionally with a musical theme.

John Osborne said “Mr Coward is his own invention and contribution to this century. Anyone who cannot see that should keep well away from the theatre.”

From fairly humble beginnings Noel Coward went on to establish himself as the most astonishing theatre animal of the 20th century. Playwright and composer, performer and director Noel Coward created some of the most memorable songs and plays in theatre history and some very witty quotes along the way.

This is our annual Lady Oliver evening lecture / entertainment. We serve wine and cheese and light refreshments as well. The cost will be available nearer the time and tickets will be on sale at our May and June monthly lectures.
