Flirting with Coward

Go and see Godfrey Johnson and his refined interpretation of Noel Coward. There was a lovely combination of the po-faced seriousness through the humourous songs, interspersed with more serious numbers. Reciting "Marvellous Party" gave an appreciation of Coward's humour and an insight to the decadence of the times. We had a friend along who knows Noel Coward's work well and thought that it was a great interpretation. It was an elegant laid back evening, just the thing after a hectic week. I was glad to hear my two favourite songs "Mrs Worthington" and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen". That wonderful tongue-in-cheek understatement.

    Many thanks, from Godfrey and myself, for coming to see our show. Very appreciated. Glad it helped you relax from the working week.
