Persona and personality mask reality in the Lancasters’ world, where the most valued currencies are sex, drugs, and repartee. Only when they are forced to drop the personnae and face reality do they question what a life lived out loud has cost them.... In a modern age obsessed with the over-sized lives of the rich and famous-for-no-reason, Coward's biting tragicomedy, first staged in 1924, proves remarkably current.
