Philip Hoare, in his biography of Coward described Semi-Monde as his "most daring play to date. In a chic Parisian hotel, a series of sexual pairings take place through rendezvous, arguments, infidelities and reconciliations: sexual deviance is undisguised…set in the bisexual
1920s, the play could easily be populated by characters of Coward's society".
Point Valaine is "the drama of a lurid episode of lust in the semi-tropics.. unmistakably the work of a master of the stage" (New York Times); South Sea Bubble which concerns "the Governor's lady in the Isle of Samolo who plays with native fire, nearly gets her wings singed, bashes her native admirer with a bottle and at one of those Coward next-morning-at breakfast scenes slips her way out of the scrape with feline grace." (Manchester Guardian) whilst Nude With Violin is a witty comedy about art fraud.

Noel Coward Plays 6, Vol. 6
This play is really very learned
It was written by this guy Bernard
And really I think the title is a bit of a lie
Because this Superman doesn't wear a cape or fly
Or catch bad guys like Lex Luther or Braniac
It seems to be all about an idea invented by that maniac
With a name nobody can spell, Friedrich Nietzche
About whom GB Shaw is keen to teach ya
As for the rest, a smorgasbord of intellectual dumplings
Enlivened by the characters' neverending grumblings
There's a hypocritical romantic
Whose psychology tends to the frantic
And another guy who wants a revolution
Whose ideas were borderline offensive where they weren't lilliputian
There's a hoity-toity mademoiselle
And a long debate that takes place in Hell
Outrageous opinions are bandied around
Shaw's firecracker paradoxes often astound
But it's okay, nobody in this play gets hurt
And the revolutionary end up happily married (spoiler alert)
