Nude With Violin
By Noel Coward
Directed by Jim Ivers Produced by Geraldine Browne
Coward’s light comedy satirizes art and society with his customary wit and elan.
Indecently close to the death of the brilliant painter, Paul Sorodin, the bereaved relatives, his business manager, and all those others who, their grief not entirely untinged with greed, anxiously await the reading of the great man’s will. It is a propitious moment for Sebastian, valet and companion extraordinary to Sorodin, to step in with some jolting surprises for the assembled “mourners”. One of the jolts is a letter he produced making it clear that Paul Sorodin was not all he had seemed to be.
