I love the dialogue in Noël Cowards work, but for this one- one of his earlier works from 1920, the plot didn't quite fit for me. I wouldn't have known quite what was going on if I hadn't read the forward I don't think. It was still worth reading though. Nobody writes British wit quite like Noël Cow...
"The vortex of beastliness"The notorious 1924 drama lifting the lid on the lives of the country house set and what a plate of worms it is too, climaxing in Oedipal angst.
The characters are so ghastly, I found this difficult to listen to!
