This book tracks dramaturgical affinities between some of Bernard Shaw's late "extravagant" plays and those of Noël Coward, in particular their recasting of one another's style and the tradition of manners comedy. While Coward's first play (The Young Idea) all but plagiarizes You Never Can Tell and Shaw responds with his own depictions of the idle rich, their experimental plays in the 1930s also ambitiously engage issues of race and Empire, topics further outside their respective idioms.
