Seen three ...'The Master' wrote some amazing plays. Seen three myself. Wish I'd been able to see him in them.<BR/><BR/>In David Nivens autobiography Niven says he and his family descended on Noel Coward for a visit and Niven pointed out that he was contracting chicken pox. "I want to make it perfectly clear that you cannot contract it here" said Noel.<BR/>Niven did. Cowards cure was rubbing alcohol onto the spots and administering sizeable 'belts' to Niven who then attempted to climb out of a window several floors up.<BR/>Whilst they were all quarantined in Noel's house he wrote 'Nude with Violin'.<BR/>My Grandad played piano for him at short notice when his regular pianist fell ill in the late '40's (I think)FOUR DINNERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675014976854343039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-1146499170795245452006-05-01T16:59:00.000+01:002006-05-01T16:59:00.000+01:00GG: that's amazing - I was over at yours whilst y...GG: that's amazing - I was over at yours whilst you were here.<BR/>How I envy you having visited Firefly. He was so happy there it must be full of atmosphere. Are you near Jamaica? I do like to visit the graves of people I admire.<BR/>It was 'think'. I checked it was there - the k in Word but it got lost in transit. Maybe you are only allowed so many letters in a title.<BR/>Alas our travels are limited to the UK now so no paying homage to Noel's grave. Did you know that the famous film 'Brief Encounter' was originally one of his one-act plays.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-1146497473934146562006-05-01T16:31:00.000+01:002006-05-01T16:31:00.000+01:00Ah, I enjoyed this post!

I should go check out our public library to see if his plays are there.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I did visit his home, Firefly, up on a cliff in Jamaica. It is absolutely WONDERFUL, a stone house with the blue sea below. His grave is there.<BR/><BR/>P.S. do you mean 'what would Noel Coward thin' or do you mean 'think'?neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.com
