1931réf. 193009London: William Heinemann Ltd 1931. First edition inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For Joe From Noel 1931". The play was written at the height of Coward's dramatic power but went unperformed in his lifetime. "By the early thirties Coward's increasingly mature work and its critical and popular success had established him as probably the most important dramatist of his day. Virginia Woolf flattered by his attentions professed to have fallen 'in love' with the playwright and his work and encouraged him to write more adventurously. The openly gay Semi-Monde 1926 and the anti-war polemic of Post-Mortem 1930 written after his brief appearance in a Singapore production of Journey's End appeared to be Coward's attempt to write up to these expectations" Philip Hoare in ODNB.

The dedicatee of the book and of this particular copy was theatre impresario Hugh "Binkie" Beaumont 1908-1973 one of the most important figures in the London theatre world during the twentieth century. He worked with just about every great dramatist and actor during in his long career perhaps most closely of all with Noël Coward. They had met in 1924 and following Coward's split with C. B. Cochran in the late 1930s Beaumont effectively became the author's manager producer and advisor for the remainder of both men's lives both died in 1973. 'Suite in Three Keys' comprises three plays each with a cast of four characters and all set in the same suite of a Swiss hotel. Coward thought of the plays as a kind of swan song and the opening run at the Queen's Theatre beginning in April 1966 were to be his final appearances on stage.
