Just over a decade ago Bill Kenwright presented the year’s most sparkling and celebrated West End comedy hit at the Apollo TheatreShaftesbury Avenue - Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels. Extraordinarily, the Champagne-cork-popping hit has not been revived since,until now... Jenny Seagrove and Sara Crowe star as best friends Julia and Jane, in a heavenly new production of Noël Coward’sdivine comedy classic.

With their passionless husbands away playing golf, a mutual long-ago-lover (French!!) announces his intention to pay Julia and Janean impromptu visit. All in a fluster, there’s clearly only one thing to do: hit the bottle! Or rather, pop open the Champagne!!

As each successive glass of liquid courage is imbibed, tongues start to loosen, hidden jealousies surface, the claws come out, andall attempts at demure behaviour go out the window. But it’s not until the unexpected early return of their golfing husbandsthat the women’s evening really hits its frenzied peak…

The tender and heart-warming tales of country vet JamesHerriot, among the dales and moors, farmhouses and publichouses, were expertly captured in a series of novels whichhave sold in their millions all over the world, and have beenmade into two films and a classic BBC TV series. Now thesestories are being brought to the stage in a major newdramatisation. The adventures of James, Siegfried and his easy-going brotherTristan Farnon, are brought to life alongside the uniquecharacters – and animals – that live and work on the Yorkshiremoors.The play captures the laughter, joy and magic of the originalnovels which inspired the hit BBC TV series, and is a chanceto escape into a much simpler time, when life moved at aslower pace, the health of your animals was your one concernand the only thing that tweeted was the birds!
