- Relative Values is a three-act comedy by Noël Coward. A satire of snobbery in all its guises, it deals with the clash of cultures between Hollywood stars and the English aristocracy, and with "the ancient and inaccurate assumption that, as we are equal in the eyes of God, we should be equal in the eyes of our fellow creatures."
It was first produced in London in 1951 with success, enjoyed several revivals and was made into a film in 2000.

Since my vision has regressed these plays have been a pleasure. I appreciate them very much. This one I enjoyed a lot. Thank you 😊
In the same situation. Totally agree with you. As the sight gets worse, radio drama gives wonderful enjoyment. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate listening much more than watching television 🙂
Same here .❤
I work on my computer all day so listening to this is very entertaining and yet I don’t have to use my eyes.
I don't live in the UK and am having to make some painful decisions which keep me awake most nights. These wonderful plays, especially by NC, help keep me sane. May 2024
Many people "don't live in the UK". I'm told it's not a fatal condition.
@@cacambo589 It can be, if you live in the wrong place...
Good one! Thanks so much
This was such an enjoyable listen! I am So grateful for these dramas!! They are a life saver to those of us that sleep evades!! Again thank you!!
Thank you so much for this brilliant play. A brilliant antidote to the modern world
What an adorable, witty and totally satisfying piece of work! Thank you, indeed!
Loved it. Cresswell is the perfect butler, and knows how to produce the perfect hangover cure!
Brilliant play and great soynd quality. Thank you for uploading.
Wonderful play!! Thank you it's very much appreciated!
Classic Coward script and ensemble piece..... following the comedic style of PG Wodehouse and which one can listen to time and time again...set in 1951 and incidentally, this was broadcast on Radio 4 on 8th May, 1976.
I'm back, listening once again. Sooo very good! One of my favs! Ty CR!!
Fantastic! thank you
Many many thanks for uploading this. I loved it!
Good old Noel coward...top storyline thank you ❤❤❤❤
Excellent! Most enjoyable! Thanks a lot
This is great!
Just brilliant! Thank you….
Thank you for posting these plays. I'm amazed that Coward emphasized class status throughout almost all of his productions.
Perhaps his personal birth-status was an influence?
Really enjoyed that as I did my colouring book. Laughed out loud several times and enjoyed the story unfolding, witty indeed.
Brilliant! Thank you...
Good ol Noel
This play is English through and through but from a by-gone time which sadly is no more
Very clever and well written as well as acted. Thank you!
This was brilliant! Thank you!!
Oh yay! I love Noel Coward
Wonderful, thank you!
Just like old times in England
Brilliant.
That was fab.💕
Great acting from lady felicity really enjoyed her.
This sounds like a Meghan and Harry story. The style of this reminds me of 19th century French comedy by Eugène Labiche and Georges Feydeau.
This would never happen in Upstairs Downstairs…lol. Mr Hudson just wouldn’t approve of it. An expat listening in Florida.
Thank you for uploading this. It is 10.05 am in Ireland now, Tuesday the 15th of March 2022.
Very funny, very witty, very entertaining. And what a complete social snob Coward was to be sure.
Very funny parody! Noel Coward saw flaws, prejudice and all sorts of implications in entertaining places - on both sides of the social divide. Have a genteel laugh!
This was a really great story! Loved it!
Oh NC!!!! One of my very favorites! Yay!!!!! And this one was terribly clever.😁
Same Janet! Blessings fr Nashville kindred
Enjoyed it. Noel Coward was such a social climbing snob but witty with it at least as he played the toad to the over privileged
@AMT very true. Didn't he write theatre plays. There's an audio series of books named Her Royal Spyness. Set in 1930s England set around the upper class and RF and Noel features in a few books, it's non fiction and delicious and naughty. You may enjoy them.
Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed.
This is priceless!
Thank you, as ever, for keeping us up to date
Lovely.
Such fun.
Thanks, i love Noel's plays. ❤️
Noel Coward was a charmer as a writer he was Brahma Velvet jackets and pyjamas The Gay Divorcee and other dramas...
Oh I do enjoy high quality British productions. The humour, the accents, the whole thing (leaving aside the class society of the era).
There is little or no pride or reason left in the UK and its terrible.
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT, I WAS A BIT PEEVED ABOUT THE NEXT ONE NOT BEING A MURDER BUT I WAS TOTALLY LOST IN THIS PLAY, FROM MY HEART I THANK YOU, BLESSINGS, TRIXIE 86, SOUTH AUSTRALUIA.

👸thank you , it was lovely , as all your plays🌷
When the BBC actually produced entertaining content. Sadly those days long gone.
Like so much of British life as we knew it. It's not at all pleasant, almost another planet.
Not prime Coward I'm afraid. A tepid rehash of previous themes . The
characters are barely 2 dimensional and his usual sparkling wit seems to
have dried up. Listen to Private Lives then compare the two ?
You mustn't expect perfection all the time. That's being greedy!!!
I usually can tell when someone is pulling an American accent when they're British this was awesome both of these characters did so well the only thing that gave them away was putting an r at the end of Miranda.
The actress, Joanna Wake, plays an English girl who went to the U.S. and definitely has an English accent. The actor, John Rowe, does have a convincing accent.
Where is the Coward wit?..This appears laboured as the plot tries to gain any credibility.
