Inhalt
The Actors' Orphanage was a home for the abandoned children of struggling or incapacitated actors. In 1934 it was a harsh and brutal institution. Meanwhile however, the gay playwright and cultural phenomenon, Noël Coward, was looking for more meaning in his life. After success after success, he would always ask ... »What now?« In »The Importance of Happiness«, this little known and inspiring true story shows how the legendary Noël Coward and his committee of famous actors transformed the austere Actors' Orphanage into a place of love and laughter. The lives of many children were greatly improved, against many odds. Using documents from the archives, many of these events have never been written of before. We see how Noël fixed serious, multifarious problems and ended a reign of terror within the orphanage. How he created a rural idyll and led the glamorous fundraisers, such as the Theatrical Garden Parties, midnight matinees at the London Palladium, cabaret at the Café de Paris and charity galas at West End theatres.
