Imperial Façade is a sparkling comedy about the adventures of Noel Coward in Singapore in the year of 1929 where secrets are jealously guarded behind the grand façade of Raffles Hotel.

Noel, a very gay young man, pretends to be a voracious lady-killer. Simon Makepeace, the matinee idol of a down-at-heel theatrical company, disguises the fact that he works as a
rent boy on the side. And what dark secret is Wing Lee, an Imperial Princess from Peking, hiding? And just what is the famous actor John Mills doing in the middle of all this?

Hear John Michael Swinbank sing Noel Coward favourites such as IÂ’ll See You Again, Mad Dogs and Englishmen and Mad About the Boy.

“Nostalgia can be all the stronger for a place never seen.”

With a stellar cast including John Michael Swinbank, Craig Fong, Edgar Metcalfe, Ethan Thomas, Igor Sas and Peter Webb.
Associate Director: Melissa Cantwell
