The Vortex [Noel Coward]

Noel Coward lifts the lid on the lives of the country house set.

Starring Elizabeth Sellars, Martin Jarvis and Sarah Lawson.

First performed in 1924 at London's Everyman Theatre, Hampstead, this play rocketed Noel Coward to prominence as both actor and writer.

There is an imprint of truth upon this play. The craftmanship is beyond reproach, the dialogue is taut and spare... and shimmering with wit.

(James Agate, Sunday Times, November, 1924)

The action takes place in Mrs Lancaster's flat in London, and at her house in the country.
