Suite in Three Keys at The Orange Tree

About: Directed by Tom Littler, In a luxury Swiss hotel suite in the 1960s, three separate stories unfold: A Song at Twilight is a full-length play about a famous elderly writer, reputedly based on Somerset Maugham, who faces blackmail at the hands of an ex-lover threatening to expose his secret past.

Shadows of the Evening and Come into the Garden, Maud form a perfect double-bill set in the same hotel suite.

Shadows of the Evening explores the intricacies of a late-life love triangle, and Come into the Garden, Maud is a fizzing comedy about the misunderstandings between Americans and Europeans abroad.

Marking the 50th anniversary of Noël Coward's death and the 125th of his birth in nearby Teddington, this is the first complete revival of Suite in Three Keys for a generation.
