Design for Living

4 Extra Debut. Gilda is mad about both Otto and Leo - and they are extremely fond of her - is there a solution? Starring Anna Massey.

'The actual facts are so simple. I love you. You love me. You love Otto. I love Otto. Otto loves you. Otto loves me. There now! Start to unravel from there'.

An impossible love triangle is played out between designer Gilda, playwright Leo and painter Otto.

Noel Coward 's subversive comedy of sexual manners in which three people design a relationship which flouts society's rules.

It was first staged in New York on Broadway in 1932 due to concerns in regard to London's over-zealous stage censor.

Starring Anna Massey, John Rye and Martin Jarvis.
