Discussing Noël Coward

The Westport Country Playhouse today hosted a Sunday Symposium Series following the matinee performance of Noël Coward’s “A Song at Twilight.” Chad Kinsman (l) interviewed Barry Day (c ), a former Weston resident and author of multiple books about Coward, and Brian Murray, lead actor in the Playhouse’s current production of the 1966 play. Murray noted that Coward always insisted that the actors in his plays come to rehearsals knowing their lines word perfect. He added: “However, when Coward played the lead role that I played in ‘A Song at Twilight,’ I’ve been told he messed up his own lines.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
