From The Tuscaloosa News: “Design for Living,” Noel Coward’s love-triangle comedy once deemed too hot for the London stage, will open Monday in the Allen Bales Theatre, Rowand-Johnson Hall on the University of Alabama campus.
UA’s spring season starts with the British playwright’s once-unconventional play about a ménage à trois involving Otto, Leo and Gilda, the woman they both love. The trio decides to break moral codes of society until a stuffy English art dealer named Ernest forces them to face the boredom and reality of their bohemian lifestyle.
