About The Marquise
Presented by Theatre Royal Windsor
By Noël Coward
Directed by Philip Wilson
Noël Coward’s witty romantic comedy gets a vibrant 1930s twist!
When a widowed count tries to marry off his daughter to the son of his best friend, it seems like a perfectly sensible plan. But with both young lovers secretly pining for others, their entangled affections cause chaos.
Just as their scheme to break free begins the Countess, Raoul’s former love, the spirited Marquise Eloise de Kestournel, bursts back into their lives, wielding her wit and charm, she turns their carefully laid plans upside down, reminding everyone that love truly can conquer all.
This is a sparkling and sophisticated tale of old secrets, impulsive passion and eternal youth.
The production features a remarkable ensemble of acclaimed stage and screen talent, led by BAFTA Award winner Juliet Aubrey as The Marquise Eloise de Kestournel, alongside Simon Shepherd as Raoul de Vriaac and Tristan Gemmill as Esteban el Duco Santaguano, who together bring Coward’s world to life with charm, wit and irresistible chemistry.
