HISTORY The Noël Coward Foundation was set up in 2000 by Graham Payn and Dany Dasto to help advance and promote the work of Noël Coward to future generations. It was not set up to provide funds to companies to produce Noël Coward work but to provide support. The Trustees particularly want to encourage companies producing Coward’s work to seek new audiences primarily, though not exclusively, from the 16-24 age group. AWARDS IN THE PAST National Student Drama Festival (Web) At NSDF08 the Noel Coward Foundation supported NSDF so that we could produce a number of workshops based on the works of Noel Coward.
