Diaeresis
Wasn't the diaeresis in his given name an affectation of Noel Coward's later years? -- Someone else 23:35 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem to be standard. -- Zoe
Words and music
Noel Coward was rarely talented in being one of the very few people who wrote words and music, and performed his own songs. Can only think of a handful of others: Bob Dylan, Woodie Guthrie.
- Well, the Singer-songwriter article has a longer list. And there's John Lennon and Paul McCartney, of course. John 00:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
There are hundreds of singer-songwriters who've been commercially - or if not commercially, then at least critically - sucessful! Martyn Smith 14:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Request For Information
A few years back, BBC2 (I think) were showing plays of NC's; about once a week on Sunday evenings IIRC.
I saw a few of these, but there's one I didn't get to see for any longer than the first few minutes. All I can recall is there was a scene which was something like a moribund old man in bed, talking with a younger man. Older man says something like 'He's a little shit is Reggie! Don't trust him!'
At that point my mother declared that she wasn't having such language on her telly and switched it off.
It's been bugging me for years as to which play that was. Any ideas?
