The first single edition of Noeuml;l Cowards most controversial play."Onlyin Semi-Monde does Coward find a successful metaphor for the sexualcomplications that lie behind his posturing. Semi-Monde is easily themost visually daring of his comedies; and the most intellectuallystartling ... made up of sexually mischievous tableauxvivants and gets much nearer the homosexual knuckle than Cowardspublic image allowed." - (John Lahr; London Review of Books)Writtenin 1926 and originally entitled Ritz Bar; Semi-Monde was considered toodaring for its time: "its production in London or New York seemedunlikely as some of the characters; owing to lightly suggestedabnormalities; would certainly be deleted by the censor" (Noeuml;l Coward;Present Indicative). The play finally received its public premiere onlyafter Cowards death; at the Citizens Theatre; Glasgow; in September1977.
