Almost sure it's East of Suez, but I can be stubbornly wrong sometimes. It's on a catalogue of a library that I saw and in a shop somewhere. Anyway, I'll see if I can find it tomorrow.My Maugham Collectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001690360958605423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103812558425454904.post-8873384470043035822015-08-26T18:32:15.537-04:002015-08-26T18:32:15.537-04:00Possibly you're thinking of a sound recording ...Possibly you're thinking of a sound recording made of a musical-theatre version of "Liza of Lambeth" from the 1970's? I have the LP. Haven't time yet to listen to it. The rock star told me the title of the play, but I can't remember - possibly The Circle or The Constant Wife; for some reason I'm remembering a 'c' in the title.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08967813811804895750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103812558425454904.post-20414210940466345352015-08-26T08:42:49.497-04:002015-08-26T08:42:49.497-04:00That's interesting.

I don't remember well, but I think there was actually a recording of one of Maugham's plays issued, almost sure it was East of Suez, which I tried to get but couldn't find, but I could have remembered wrongly.<br /><br />Yes, I had been reading so much about Maugham's plays being obsolete, etc. Then one day I got the news that one of his plays was produced My Maugham Collectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001690360958605423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103812558425454904.post-16433275411107941402015-08-25T20:01:52.121-04:002015-08-25T20:01:52.121-04:00Maugham's plays are still being performed even...Maugham's plays are still being performed even on smaller stages. I met a famous rock star once (Jim Reid from The Jesus and Mary Chain) in 1998 and he said his sister had just got done performing in a Maugham play up in Scotland. Also I recently found a sort of new age/world music record called "East of Suez: Original Soundtrack Music."
