A queer young man in a very straight world of turn-of-the-century England, Noël Coward grew up in poverty and left school when he was only nine years old. Nonetheless, by the age of 30, he was the highest paid writer in the world and a star on the Broadway stage, well on his way to becoming a world-renowned songwriter and performer. And if that wasn't enough, he was also a spy during World War II. Coward defined an era and led an extraordinary life, and this is his fascinating story told in his own words (read by Rupert Everett), along with captivating archival interviews, and a treasure trove of home movies.
