In the brief, deliciously funny encounter that ensues, ­Coward and his mischievous muse relive their greatest stage successes, reminisce about their glory days and sing the songs that made them the toast of Broadway, the West End and the world. A Room with a View, Mad about the Boy, I’ll See You Again, The Stately Homes of England, Don’t Let’s Be Beastly to the Germans, Mad Dogs and Englishmen and the ­wickedly funny honeymoon scene from ­Coward’s smash-hit musical Private Lives are all restored to their former glory in the fabulous period piece Noël and Gertie: In Love Again. The Project Gateway fundraiser features Cat Simoni and Paul Spence, whose experience stretches from London’s Ritz Hotel to the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon.
