WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Roundabout Theatre Company presents the Broadway revival of Noël Coward's Design for Living. The show is a witty, sophisticated comedy that takes a trio of decadent artists on a scintillating romp through London, Paris, and New York in search of true love in the year 1932. Otto the painter, Leo the playwright, and Gilda, the impulsive beauty who decorates interiors, are all in love?with each other. When the burden of Otto and Leo's battle for Gilda's attentions become too much for her to bear, she bows out on them both and marries a dependable art dealer. Two years later, Gilda is met by Otto and Leo who show up on her doorstep. Directed by Joe Mantello, the show stars Alan Cumming, Jennifer Ehle, and Dominic West.

Thank God for subscription theaters. In this climate of take-no-prisoners criticism, what suicidal commercial producer would dare offer the controversial revival of Noël Coward's Design For Living that the Roundabout Theatre Company just put up at The American Airlines Theatre? Director Joe Mantello, once the darling of the critics, has here been reviled--for what? For having interpreted Noel Coward's 1932 play with a modern twist? Is that so terrible?
If you'd like to see the way Design for Living was done for the mass audience of its own era, check out the 1933 movie version written by Coward and Ben Hecht. Ernst Lubitsch directed, and the film stars Gary Cooper, Fredric March and[...]
