Play review - "Pretty Polly" by Noel Coward

 Listened to a radio version of a short story by Coward which was adapted for television and film. It's sweet and slight. Virginal Polly's mum dies so she goes to Singapore. Her uncle is a rake and she roots an Indian-Chinese. It's a good experience, they separate no harm done. No conflict. If the guy was a woman it would have more kick - as would the fact if Polly fell hard. But it's fine.
