_'The actual facts are so simple. I love you. You love me. You love
Otto. I love Otto. Otto loves you. Otto loves me. There now! Start to
unravel from there.'_
_Design for Living_ is a wickedly witty dark romantic comedy by Noel
Coward. Initially banned in the UK, this provocative play portrays
three amoral, glib and stylish characters and their hopelessly
inescapable, if also unconventional, emotional entanglement.
From 1930s bohemian Paris to the dizzying heights of Manhattan
society, a tempestuous love triangle unravels between a vivacious
interior designer, Gilda, playwright Leo and artist Otto - three
people unashamedly and passionately in love with each other. They are
trapped in what Coward called 'a three-sided erotic hodge podge.'
With Coward's trademark piquant style, this lively, funny but also
atypical play looks at dazzling, egotistical creatures and their
self-destructive dependence on each other. Exploring themes of
bisexuality, celebrity, success and self-obsession, _Design for
Living_ is a stylish and scandalous comedy.
