WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Hayley Mills will make her New York theatre debut in two of the last plays ever written by the great Noël Coward. Shadows of the Evening, is set in a private hotel suite in Lausanne, Switzerland, the play depicts an encounter among George, a well-to-do publisher, Linda, his mistress of seven years and Anne, his wife who has never divorced him.

A Song at Twilight is the story of Sir Hugo, an aging eminent writer and his wife of 20 years, Hilde who are visited by his ex-lover Carlotta. When Carlotta threatens to publish letters that expose a long hidden secret from Sir Hugo's past, a brilliant and witty battle ensues.
