  • 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.

    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.

      @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.

    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 ?

    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.

    • @nedludd7622
      @nedludd7622 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
