In this new production, Christopher Luscombe directs with the same flair that has made his The Rocky Horror Show a worldwide hit. The cast features Olivier Award-winning Janie Dee and Alexandra Gilbreath, alongside Christopher Hollis, Richard Teverson, Sarah Twomey, and Graham Vick.
Audiences can expect Coward’s razor-sharp dialogue delivered in a stylish period setting, with designs by Simon Higlett and costumes by Fotini Dimou. Soundscapes from Adam Cork and music by Nigel Hess enrich the atmosphere, while Nicola Keen’s movement direction ensures the comedy flows with precision. The Menier Chocolate Factory’s reputation for reviving classics with fresh energy makes this revival both a celebration of Coward’s legacy and a highlight of London’s theatre calendar.
Storyline
Set in 1920s London, Fallen Angels follows best friends Jane and Julia, two women enjoying the stability of marriage and friendship. Their comfortable world is disrupted when their glamorous former lover announces his return, stirring old passions and rivalries.
