SHOW: DAVID BENSON SINGS NOEL COWARD

Assembly Rooms, 6-21 Aug (and 12 Aug), 15.20 – 16.30

10 Aug 09 £12.00

David Benson once again demonstrated his versatility in this delightful show celebrating the great Noel Coward. He transformed himself from a glamorous diva to a middle-aged businessman lamenting that he is Mad About the Boy within a second using little more than a pearl necklace, a feather band and a pair of glasses.

Accompanied by the charming Stewart Nicholls Benson presented Coward hits like Don’t Put Your Daughter on the Stage and There are Bad Times Just Around the Corner – quite relevant today - but he also included songs from the rarely performed show The Girl Who Came to Supper. David Benson conducted a good deal of research for this show. He included forgotten lyrics that even my friend who is a Coward connoisseur did not know. A highly enjoyable afternoon!
