Review: FALLEN ANGELS, Menier Chocolate Factory Photo
Review: FALLEN ANGELS, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Laura Jones - Dec 3, 2025

The 2025 revival of Noel Coward's Fallen Angels at the Menier Chocolate Factory, directed by Christopher Luscombe, offers a polished, refined evening of comedy, one that reminds us why Coward's wit, even after a century, can still sparkle with mischief. This is the first London production in 25 years, and it arrives with a cast that honours the play’s flirtatious, farcical spirit while also ensuring the characters retain warmth and vulnerability.

Guest Blog: 'It Is Not Depressing But Uplifting': Translator John Farndon on New Ukrainian Play THE TRUMPETER
by Guest Author - Jun 25, 2024

Back in February, I witnessed something I've never seen in theatre before, even though I've seen many hundreds of shows. It was in the Wiesbaden Staatstheater in Germany, and the play was Ukrainian playwright Inna Goncharova's The Trumpeter performed in English by actress Kristin Milward. At the end of the performance, the mixed audience of Ukrainians and Germans rose slowly to their feet, weeping and cheering at the same time, and stayed like this for a very long time. It was extremely moving to witness.
