Duke of York's Theatre
In conversation with Lucinda Gosling, Noël Coward’s new biographer Oliver Soden will be recalling the story of the production that launched the young Coward's partnership with Gertrude Lawrence and gave us his iconic song 'Parisian Pierrot'.
Extracts from the original production will be performed by Damian Lewis and Indira Varma, with songs performed by Georgi Mottram and Robert Hazle.
This will be the first time ‘Follow A Star’ has been performed since 1923. The music was thought lost until a handwritten draft was recently discovered when cataloguing the private collection of Coward’s US representative and close friend, Geoffrey Johnson, who bequeathed his collection to the Noël Coward Archive Trust following his death in 2022.
The bar will be open before and after to purchase refreshments. Be sure to book your tickets for this free lunchtime event and we hope to see you there!

The Duke of York’s Theatre opened in 1892, then named the Trafalgar Square Theatre, and was renamed to its current name in 1895 to honour the future King George V. The theatre has housed acclaimed productions since, such as King Lear, and played host to many famous names, including Sir Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Michael Gambon and Jeremy Irons.
