    An impatient heiress Stella and her gambling husband Toby are penniless, but they manage to live elegantly enough sponging off their high society friends. As the play opens they are outstaying their welcome in the Lloyd-Ransomes' villa on the Côte d'Azur. But as Toby has no luck in the casino, their bridge debts are becoming unmanageable and the last of their jewellery is pawned, something very melodramatic needs to occur for them to get away with it this time. 'Ways and Means' is a short play from 'Tonight at 8.30', a series of ten plays, ranging from farce to melodrama to romantic comedy. After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    'We Were Dancing' is set at a dinner-dance on a South Sea island, where two married people fall suddenly in love when they are dancing - unfortunately they are not married to each other. They spend a blissful night planning their future and trying to shrug off Louise's husband, but as the next day dawns and the music has stopped, little of the last night's enchantment remains. 'We Were Dancing' is a short play from 'Tonight at 8.30', a sequence of ten plays ranging from farce to melodrama to romantic comedy. After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    Victoria and Simon's marriage isn't going very well, and they're both trying not to mind. After an anxious evening at the theatre, Victoria takes some sleeping pills to calm herself and drowsily slips into reminiscences. The play trips back into their past of lilting romance and blissful adoration, with an innovative blurring of past and present: a fascinating and infatuated dream. 'Shadow Play' is a short play from 'Tonight at 8.30', a sequence of ten plays ranging from farce to melodrama to romantic comedy. After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    A group of actors and theatre-related people arrive fitfully for a committee meeting of the Garrick Haven Fund, a charity for elderly and impoverished actresses, but the transactions of the committee are far less interesting to them than their own affairs. Very little business is conducted, and rather a lot of hysterical posturing is performed instead. 'Star Chamber' is a short play from 'Tonight at 8.30', a sequence of ten plays. After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    'Still Life' is the love story that would become the classic film 'Brief Encounter'. A happily married housewife and a doctor meet each week - first accidentally, and then quite deliberately - in a station refreshment room. As they fall deeply in love their passion is only matched by their horror at betraying their families: they remain poised only on the edge of happiness. 'Still Life' is a short play from 'Tonight at 8.30', a sequence of ten plays ranging from farce to melodrama to romantic comedy. After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    The Featherway family are gathered glumly in the drawing room in 1860 after their father's funeral. But as madeira is drunk, dressing-up boxes unearthed, songs sung, childhood memories re-discovered and the scandalous secrets of the will revealed, the gloom turns into what Coward described as 'a sly satire on Victorian hypocrisy'. 'Family Album' is a short play from the 'Tonight at 8.30' cycle, which was first produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    'Fumed Oak' is a satisfying suburban comedy in two acts: in the first, Henry Gow sits silently as his grumbling mother-in-law, his snappish wife and his whining daughter bicker over breakfast; in the second, he announces that he has changed his name and bought a boat ticket, and, leaving them the house and a barrage of insults he has been saving for over ten years, goes out of the front door with glee. 'Fumed Oak' is a short play from the 'Tonight at 8.30' cycle, which was first produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.

    A sparkling, hilarious and technically brilliant short comedy, 'Hands Across the Sea' is set at a cocktail party in a smart London flat where the telephone is always ringing and there are always three conversations happening at once. The earnest enquiries, enthusiastic reminiscences and society anecdotes scream along at dazzling pace, impeded not a jot by the hosts having no idea who exactly their guests are. 'Hands Across the Sea' is a short play from the 'Tonight at 8.30' sequence, which was first produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.
