Overview
What do you do if your mother’s boyfriend is the same age as you?
Described as ‘un peu shocking’, Noël Coward’s youthful drama was a huge success at its premiere. The relationship between the decadent, drug-addicted Nicky Lancaster and his flamboyant mother, Florence, still packs an extraordinary punch.
Stephen Unwin’s fresh and radical production features the award-winning film actress Kerry Fox and the much-loved comic actor James Dreyfus, as well as David Dawson, one of our most brilliant young stars.
