From the UK Theatre Network, November 10, 2007:

LEGENDARY ACTOR NOEL COWARD’S BELOVED JAMAICAN SANCTUARY COMES TO LIFE IN NEW NOVEL

Elizabeth Sharland is not your average author. She devoted her life to studying the art of acting and theater production. With acquired knowledge from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, Elizabeth excelled. Her first job was with London’s Old Vic Company to tour Australia for six months, with Katherine Hepburn playing the leads. Later on she toured the States with Yul Brynner in his tour of “The King and I” as his personal assistant. After living in the spotlight, Sharland credibly divulges to her readers what it means to be an actor.

Sharland chose to honor the life and achievements of the beloved thespian in her new novel, Blue Harbour Revisited. Coward purchased land in Jamaica as a personal vacation spot. He called it ‘Blue Harbour’ and considered it his sanctuary. Between writing, performing, and attending plays, Coward hosted lavish parties and escaped from the chaos of the business at Blue Harbour. Today, the home, still originally furnished and maintained, is up for sale and is sure to be modernized.
