This volume collects Coward's best and most witty pieces, including Rain Before Seven, the only sketch he performed with Gertrude Lawrence, and the hilarious parody, Some Other Private Lives, in which Coward burlesques his own famous play, Private Lives

Also included in this Collection are short one-act plays never before published

And an Introduction by Coward scholar Barry Day, setting the work in the context of its time and its dramatic form
