Coles Bernard Shaw and Noel Coward: Conversation Pieces at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

This book tracks dramaturgical affinities between some of Bernard Shaw&s late "extravagant" plays and those of Noël Coward, in particular their recasting of one another&s style and the tradition of manners comedy. While Coward&s first play ( The Young Idea ) all but plagiarizes You Never Can Tell and Shaw responds with his own depictions of the idle rich, their experimental plays in the 1930s also ambitiously engage issues of race and Empire, topics further outside their respective idioms. "Christopher Wixson mines Shaw&s rarely-explored engagement with the work of Noël Coward, examining both writers' highly experimental plays from the 1930s in light of such important issues as postwar disillusionment, racial difference, and post-coloniality." Michel Pharand, Queen's University
