About
Come Into the Garden, Maud is a comedy, one of the trilogy of plays by Noƫl Coward known collectively as Suite in Three Keys. The other two, A Song at Twilight and Shadows of the Evening are more serious in tone. All three plays are set in the same suite in a luxury hotel in Switzerland. The play depicts a middle-aged American couple. The wife is querulous and domineering, the husband philosophical. He finds comfort in the kindness of a widow they have recently met, and at the end of the play he leaves his wife for her. The play debuted in London's West End in 1966, starring Coward, and was performed on Broadway in 1974.
