[edit] Diaeresis
Wasn't the diaeresis in his given name an affectation of Noel Coward's later years? -- Someone else 23:35 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem to be standard. -- Zoe
[edit] Words and music
Noel Coward was rarely talented in being one of the very few people who wrote words and music, and performed his own songs. Can only think of a handful of others: Bob Dylan, Woodie Guthrie.
- Well, the Singer-songwriter article has a longer list. And there's John Lennon and Paul McCartney, of course. John 00:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
There are hundreds of singer-songwriters who've been commercially - or if not commercially, then at least critically - sucessful! Martyn Smith 14:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Peirce is the correct spelling. Hyacinth 08:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request For Information
A few years back, BBC2 (I think) were showing plays of NC's; about once a week on Sunday evenings IIRC.
I saw a few of these, but there's one I didn't get to see for any longer than the first few minutes. All I can recall is there was a scene which was something like a moribund old man in bed, talking with a younger man. Older man says something like 'He's a little shit is Reggie! Don't trust him!'
At that point my mother declared that she wasn't having such language on her telly and switched it off.
It's been bugging me for years as to which play that was. Any ideas?
- I've since consulted a Noel Coward expert and he doesn't recognise anything like this dialogue. Must be getting it mixed up with something else....Martyn Smith 14:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Noel vs Noël -- again
So why was the explanation concerning the ë wiped out from the article on 4 June 2006? Was it wrong? Two "Noël" spellings remain in the article, but right now there is no explanation whatsoever. THis is strange. Can someone help? <KF> 12:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Noel Coward Theatre?
In London there is a theatre called the Noel Coward Theatre, where the musical Avenue Q is currently situated. Shouldn't this be mentioned in this article? Noel Coward Theatre Baberlp 21:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] including "Mad Dogs and Englishmen (song)"
Suggesting include Information about "Mad Dogs and Englishmen"
from Mad_Dogs_and_Englishmen:

Unfortunately the page Mad Dogs and Englishmen (song) doesn't yet exist.
I could only add the info from Mad_Dogs_and_Englishmen

Also an excerpt should be added. --Dietmar Lettau 12:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
