About the Play

Set in London in 1925, Fallen Angels follows two best friends, Julia and Jane, who once shared romantic adventures with the charming Frenchman Maurice Duclos before marrying their current husbands.

Now that Maurice has returned to London and wishes to see them again, the women find themselves nervously awaiting his arrival while their husbands are away playing golf. Over champagne and with the help of their worldly housekeeper, they attempt to decide how to handle the unexpected reunion.

The result is a sparkling comedy filled with wit, charm, and classic Noël Coward humor.
