Sir Noël Peirce Coward was an English actor, playwright, and composer of popular music.

Among his achievements, he received an Academy Certificate of Merit at the 1943 Academy Awards for "outstanding production achievement for In Which We Serve."

Known for his wit, flamboyance, and personal style, his plays and songs achieved new popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, and his work and style continue to influence popular culture. The former Albery Theatre (originally the New Theatre) in London was renamed the Noël Coward Theatre in his honour in 2006.

Op zijn 25 schrijft Noël Coward Easy Virtue, uit jeugdig verzet tegen de upperclass die geen gelijkheid duldt.
Op zijn 52 maakt hij deze Relative value, en de titel zegt het al: de oudere Coward relativeert zijn jongere waarden en spot met het gelijkheidsideaal.
Ook qua niveau is dit stuk van relatieve waarde: makkelijke vondsten als personages die zich voordoen als anderen, en oppervlakkige typeringen.
Geef mij maar een vooroorlogse Coward.
