The Noël Coward Foundation 

The Noël Coward Foundation was set up in 2000 by Graham Payn and Dany Dasto to help advance and promote the work of Noël Coward to future generations.  It was not set up to provide funds to companies to produce Noël Coward work but to provide support.

The Trustees particularly want to encourage companies producing Coward’s work to seek new audiences primarily, though not exclusively, from the 16-24 age group.

At NSDF08 the Noel Coward Foundation supported NSDF so that we could produce a number of workshops based on the works of Noel Coward. These included:

James Phillips A Scene Study of Noel Coward’s The Vortex 

Lucy Briers The Plays of Noel Coward: Museum Pieces or Subversive Satire? 

Steven Jon Atkinson Film to stage: adapting the Noel Coward/ David Lean wartime epic In Which We Serve 

The Noel Coward Foundation also donated Noel Coward playscripts to the NSDF Script Library which were available for all students to use at NSDF08 and are currently available at The Tabard Theatre, Chiswick.
