By Noel Coward
Directed by Layne Kriwoken
Join us for an evening of sparkling wit and sophisticated scandal as Mercury Players present a staged reading of Noel Coward’s Design for Living.
This modern classic explores the blurred lines between friendship, passion, and propriety.
Scandalous when written in 1932, this daring comedy about art, love, and morality still surprises and excites audiences today.
