Noel Coward

Noel Coward's surname was a cunning trick, as he was actually one of the bravest wits of his day. He was a massively celebrated playwright, but if you're too much of uncultured swine to know his work then you may recall him as the old gangster mastermind from The Italian Job. Yeah, him.
