Relative Values
a play by Noël Coward
Directed by Candice Mitrousis​
In a show critics call Hollywood meets Downton Abbey, Relative Values is a three-act comedy by Noël Coward.
A satire of snobbery in all its guises, it follows the young Earl of Marshwood, who announces that he is engaged to a Hollywood film star. Countess of Marshwood, his mother, is appalled by the decision, but Moxie, her personal maid, is even more upset about the prospect and threatens to leave Marshwood and return to the status quo.
Moxie’s reasons for leaving are soon revealed, and the Countess engages in plotting and scheming to upend the marriage and keep her maid around.
