| Summary | 'Fallen Angels' is a biting, hilarious comedy about the rivalry between two bored married women as they await the arrival of their exotic former lover. Dramatising female sexual desire and frustration, the play's first performances in 1925 outraged the critics, who proclaimed it to be shocking and obscene. But rather than insulting British womanhood (as its scandalised opponents asserted) Coward's sharp, entertaining script incisively draws attention to male sexual hypocrisy, while probing the vacuous lives of the play's privileged protagonists. |
