With OLIVER SODEN author of MASQUERADE — The Lives of Lives of Noel Coward
My guest again this week is Oliver Soden whose recent book is titled Masquerade – The Lives of Noel Coward.
I am devoting more episodes to this book than I have to any previous books, but I found the writing and research to be so exceptional, and this conversation with Soden to be so captivating that I don’t want you to miss any of it.
Today Oliver and I focus on a very difficult period in Noel Coward’s career when his was seen to be seriously out of step with the theatrical world of post-war Britain. However, in his personal life during this same time he meets the man who will become his life partner, Graham Payn.
If you missed the previous episode in this series you may want to catch up with those before listening to this one.
