A scandalous toast to love, rivalry, and wit in a champagne-fresh comedy.
Noël Coward’s 1925 comedy Fallen Angels returns in a new production directed by Roundabout Interim Artistic Director Scott Ellis. Set in the glittering world of interwar London, the play follows two upper-class wives who, with their husbands away for the day, find themselves reminiscing over shared romantic histories — particularly with the same man, who may soon arrive from France.
As champagne flows and confessions mount, their polite civility begins to crack, revealing rivalries, desires, and the precarious balance of decorum and indulgence.
This revival stars Emmy® nominee Rose Byrne and Tony Award® winner and Emmy® nominee Kelli O’Hara, who bring Coward’s sparkling dialogue and sharp humor to life in this effervescent tale of manners and mischief.
