Noël Coward’s Singapore was both a stage and place of action. He acted there with an English touring company and used his many visits as a stimulus to write and explore the city’s darker side. Yet he published only one work about Singapore, a short story originally titled “Pretty Polly Barlow,” later shortened to “Pretty Polly.” The 1964 story outlines linguistic clashes within the transnational city and how misunderstandings expose not only cultural but social divides. Through the incorporation of slang, Imperial English, foreign languages and what would become Singlish, Coward represents a conflict of languages and behavior re-shaping the colonial landscape. Coward saw Singapore as the crossroads of cultures and creates a vector between the prim, English young woman Polly, the slightly degenerate lifestyle of its inhabitants, especially the ex-pats and those who inhabit Bugis Street, and the Singaporian, Amaz, the embodiment of the 19th century East and the modern West. To balance out these roles at the end is the athlete American millionaire Rick Barlow who, appropriately, will leave Singapore on the same ship as Polly. The unexpected wealth of Polly alters her identity, language and relationship with all the figures, re-defining her role from ingenue to a potential femme fatale. And with displacement as the story’s overarching theme, it is proper that the principal figures leave Singapore at the end, replacing a formal if archaic language with natural speech that marks the end of Empire and a revision of linguistic protocols.
