LIZA Goddard and Daniel Casey star in Noel Coward’s charming and witty final play Star Quality at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, January 31 to Saturday, February 4.

Set in 1951, Star Quality takes the audience behind the scenes of a new West End production.

Behind the red-curtain glamour, Coward conjures up a wickedly observant satire of talent and treachery and a gallery of unforgettable characters.

A temperamental leading lady and her director engage in a battle of egos which will make or break the production and possibly the rest of the cast. Bursting with Coward charm, what emerges from the mayhem of wit, hissy fits and fisticuffs is proof that Star Quality will always triumph. 

Stars of TV and stage Liza Goddard (Take Three Girls) and Daniel Casey (MidSomer Murders) lead a superb cast with West End legend Gay Soper, Sarah Berger, Simon Cole, Anthony Houghton, Keith Myers, Brendan Riding, Bob Saul, Sonia Saville and Lola the dog, in her professional stage debut.

The play is adapted by Christopher Luscombe, the director of The Madness of George III and The History Boys, and directed by Joe Harmston, the artistic director of the Agatha Christie Theatre Company.

Tickets cost from £15.50 and are available from the Box Office on 0845 287 2146.
