Radio review – CP#20 – “Private Lives” (1939) **1/2

Orson Welles wasn’t really a comedian of the Noel Coward light touch brigade – although he could be funny, there was something heavy about his delivery – but it’s still lots of fun to hear him banter with Gertrude Lawrence in the famous Coward play. It’s interesting listening to a play be adapted for radio rather than a novel – it did feel a little thin at times, but it’s still entertaining.
