The surprise emergence of an ex-mistress from his past proves threatening for Hugo Latymer, a grand old man of letters, and his wife Hilde.

The purpose of her visit turns out to be as shocking as it is dramatic - and threatens to destroy the couple’s marriage...

Noel Coward's famous wit and observation of character are as sharp and entertaining as ever.

This was the Master's swansong in London's theatre land marking his farewell stage appearance in 1966 in his own play.
