Orange Tree Theatre (OT) has announced casting for Noël Coward's upcoming show, Suite in Three Keys.

OT Artistic Director Tom Littler directs Stephen Boxer (Hugo Latymer, George Hilgay and Verner Conklin), Emma Fielding (Hilde Latymer, Anne Hilgay and Anna-Mary Conklin), Tara Fitzgerald (Carlotta Gray, Linda Savignac and Maud Caragnani) and Steffan Rizzi (Felix) in a rediscovery of Coward's trilogy.  

The creative team is completed by Designer Louie Whitemore, Lighting Designer Chris McDonnell, Sound Designer Tom Attwood and Associate Designer Jessica Statton. Suite in Three Keys opens on 5 June and runs until 6 July with previews from 24 May.

Following its run at the Orange Tree Theatre, Suite in Three Keys will run at Theatre Royal Bath from 9 to 13 July.

OT Artistic Director Tom Littler said: "Suite in Three Keys is an exquisite trio of plays representing Noël Coward's final work for the theatre.

"Dating from the mid-1960s, these plays have all of Coward's trademark wit and verbal invention whilst confronting themes of mortality, sexuality and honesty with remarkable daring.

"I'm delighted to welcome Tara Fitzgerald back to the Orange Tree after her excoriating performance in Duet for One, and to introduce OT audiences to the remarkable talents of Stephen Boxer and Emma Fielding."

Plot

In a luxury Swiss hotel suite, three separate stories unfold. In the full-length.  

A Song at Twilight, an elderly writer faces blackmail at the hands of an ex-lover threatening to expose his secret past.   

Shadows of the Evening and Come into the Garden, Maud form a perfect double-bill, combining a late-life love triangle and a fizzing comedy about Americans abroad.
