Noël Coward - From His Diaries
Broadcast on BBC Radio 4
April 17th to May 1st 1996 (recorded 2015)

For the last 30 years of his life, Noël Coward set aside time to write up his own thoughtful commentary on the ways of the world. In three programmes, Simon Cadell reads extracts from the diaries on the theme of England and Englishness, on sex, sexuality, health and Las Vegas, and on how the playwright endures drama with the press and new wave theatre, but enjoys his 70th birthday.

Graham Payn, Noël Coward's companion, provides some explanatory notes.
