Visit to London Transport Museum and Noel Coward's play, "Private Lives" on February 18th

London Transport Museum and Poster Exhibition

Over 60 original artworks are on display as part of the exhibition entitled "The art of the poster "- which celebrates a century of outstanding poster design for London's public transport network.

It features leading artists of their day and many previously unseen artworks

Noel Coward's "Private Lives."

Amanda and Elyot can’t live together and they can’t live apart. When they discover they are honeymooning in the same hotel with their new spouses, they not only fall in love all over again, they learn to hate each other all over again. A comedy with a dark underside, fireworks fly as each character yearns desperately for love.

Full of wit and razor sharp dialogue, Private Lives remains one of the most successful and popular comedies ever written.

Lucy Bailey returns to Hampstead Theatre following her award-winning production of Comfort Me With Apples in 2005 and Glass Eels in 2007.

Report of the Visit

Thirty-three members and friends of NADFAS arrived in Covent Garden by coach at 10.30a.m. for a visit to the Transport Museum. We planned to see, in particular, the poster exhibition, “The Art of the Poster – A century of underground design” to prepare us for the lecture on the 13th May.

After time for lunch, the coach took us on to Hampstead for the matinee performance of Private Lives by Noel Coward. This again prepared us well for the lecture on the 10^th June by Frances Hughes – The Master – Noel Coward as writer, actor and painter.
