Tonight at 8:30

Tonight at 8.30 is a cycle of ten short plays by Noël Coward, first produced in 1935 in Manchester and on tour and played in London (1936), New York (1936–1937) and Canada (1938). The plays were performed in various combinations of three at each performance during the original run.
