After Dinner Speaker Biography: The show brings to life a personal selection of songs and poems written by Coward. Directed by Brendan O'Hea and ably accompanied by George Dyer on the piano, the script whirls through Coward’s insights into the lives of both everyday people and the upper classes with many tales of the endless capacity of love to confuse, wound, amuse and capture hearts and minds alike.
With new musical arrangements by Warren Wills, the pair present songs including "Mad About The Boy", "Never Again" and "Alice Is At It Again" as well as dramatised poems such as Honeymoon 1905 in which two newly-weds head to Ilfracombe in fear of their marriage night and Social Grace in which Coward encountered a hilariously over-enthusiastic fan.
Alistair McGowan is best known for his BBC TV show The Big Impression and has also appeared on stage in the West End, compering Rufus Norris' Cabaret. He received a Olivier nomination for his role the dentist in the 2004 revival of Little Shop of Horrors
