The creative team is led by playwright Noël Coward and director Scott Ellis. Noël Coward hailed from Teddington, Middlesex, in England. He debuted on stage as Prince Mussel in The Goldfish at just 12 years old. This led to several child actor appearances over the next few years. Notoriously, Noël Coward played the character of Slightly in Peter Pan. Critic Kenneth Tynan said, “Forty years ago he was Slightly in Peter Pan and you might say that he has been wholly in Peter Pan ever since.” His 1924 controversial play The Vortex was his breakthrough. A string of successful plays followed including Hay Fever (1925), Fallen Angels (1925), and Easy Virtue (1926). 

Meanwhile, Director Scott Ellis is the Interim Artistic Director of Roundabout Theatre Company.
