These three short plays by Noel Coward are each set in the same luxury suite in a Swiss hotel. "A Song at Twilight" is a comedy-drama about an elderly writer confronted by his former mistress with facts about his past life that he would prefer to forget. "Shadows of the Evening" is a drama about George, his estranged wife Anne, and his mistress Linda, all dealing with the need to lay animosities aside now that George has only a few months to live, and wants to see his children again. "Come into the Garden, Maud" is a comedy that features an American couple who are not well-matched. She is a social climber, while he is a rich country boy with little interest in status. When he entertains a threadbare princess in the upstairs suite, he realizes he has more in common with royalty than his wife ever will (even as she entertains a prince downstairs).
