A Song At Twilight
A Song at Twilight at The Richmond Theatre, London.
A Song at Twilight - This is vintage Coward!
Razor-sharp wit and sumptuous settings, compelling and poignant story-telling make A Song At Twilight, one of his final pieces of stage work, arguably one of his best.
A Song At Twilight follows the life and loves of world famous author Sir Hugo Latymer. Settled in a luxurious hotel in Switzerland, Sir Hugo and his wife invite actress Carlotta Gray to dine, with unexpected consequences. Sir Hugo is haughty, self-righteous, witty and sharp, but he has met his match. As the evening progresses it becomes clear that Carlotta is not quite the silly actress Sir Hugo cruelly portrayed her to be in his memoirs. In fact she has information in her possession that would completely ruin him. The stage is set for a classic Coward glittering battle of egos.
Two of our finest classical actors lead this exciting new production. Peter Egan, still best known for Ever Decreasing Circles, but more recently the comedy Home Again, plays Sir Hugo Latymer. Belinda Lang, a Coward connoisseur who most recently played Myra Arundel alongside Dame Judi Dench in the West End production of Hay Fever, plays Carlotta Gray.
