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.
