Noel Coward's final play, Star Quality, heads for Malvern Theatres

10:10am Saturday 21st January 2012 in Theatre & Comedy

LIZA Goddard and Daniel Casey star in Noël Coward’s final play, Star Quality, at Malvern Theatres later this month.

Set in 1951, Star Quality goes behind the scenes of a new West End production to reveal a wickedly observant satire of talent and treachery and a gallery of unforgettable characters.

A temperamental leading lady and her director engage in a battle of egos which will make or break the production – and possibly the rest of the cast. Bursting with Coward charm, what emerges from the mayhem of wit, hissy fits and fisticuffs is proof that Star Quality will always triumph.

Stars of TV and stage Liza Goddard (Bergerac and Take Three Girls) and Daniel Casey (Midsomer Murders) lead a cast that also includes West End legend Gay Soper (Sunday in the Park with George), Sarah Berger, Simon Cole, Anthony Houghton, Keith Myers, Brendan Riding, Bob Saul, Sonia Saville and Lola the dog, in her professional stage debut.

Adapted by Christopher Luscombe (director of The Madness of George III and The History Boys) and directed by Joe Harmston (artistic director of the Agatha Christie Theatre Company), Star Quality is a fitting farewell from Noël Coward.

Star Quality is at Malvern Theatres from January 31 to February 4, with tickets starting at £15.50.
