First staged in 1925, Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels was considered daring for its time, tackling themes of female desire and social convention with a wit that remains timeless. 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.
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. As anticipation grows, cocktails flow, and the veneer of social order begins to crack. With temptation and loyalty on a collision course, the question becomes whether either woman can resist the pull of forbidden desire. Book your Fallen Angels London tickets to discover how Coward’s witty satire unravels when old flames and new tensions ignite.
