Arena (1975)

The Sir Noel Coward Trilogy (1): The Boy Actor (1998x1)

Air date: Apr 11, 1998

This first programme of the trilogy follows Coward's rise from suburban South London boy to the world's highest-paid author at the age of 30. He earned notoriety with his play 'The Vortex', but by the late 1920s his huge success had driven him to a nervous breakdown.
