Summary: Play Deals Explicitly With Homosexuality (Press, 8 July 1987)
"Me and the Girls," the only Noel Coward play that explicitly addresses homosexuality, is set to air on One tonight at 10 PM. The play features Tom Courtenay in the role of George, a homosexual cabaret artist who is facing terminal illness in a Swiss sanatorium. The narrative alternates between George's current struggles and flashbacks to key moments in his past, highlighting both his triumphs and failures in the world of performance, along with a poignant focus on his deep love for Harry, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident. The portrayal captures the essence of George as a man who has remained true to his identity and talents throughout a life marked by love and loss. Notable performances also come from Nichola McAuliffe and Robert Glenister, with the screenplay crafted by Ken Taylor and directed by Jack Gold.
