Two Keys replaces the Jan Maxwell-Richard Chamberlain Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, which, as previously reported, was postponed due to Maxwell's casting in a forthcoming Broadway production.

Noël Coward in Two Keys will play Aug. 12-30 on the BTF main stage. Vivian Matalon directs Coward's final stage work, composed of the one-act comedies Come into the Garden, Maud and A Song at Twilight. Matalon also directed the Swiss hotel-set comedies in their London and Broadway premieres.
