Noël & Gertie is Sheridan Morley’s play that originally ran in the West End for nine years about the professional and personal relationship between Noël Coward and Gertrude Lawrence,
This witty and moving show is crafted from diaries and letters between Coward and his stage partner Lawrence. Although they only appeared in two productions together: Private Lives and Tonight at 8.30, Noël Coward and Gertrude Lawrence epitomised an era of style and elegance. The songs, sketches and snippets of scenes accurately portray this remarkable duo and the era they helped to define.
Helena Blackman played Nellie Forbush in a tour of South Pacific, starred as Helen Fogel in the West End premiere of Stephen Sondheim's Saturday Night at the Jermyn Street Theatre and was a runner up in the TV contest How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?
