FALLEN ANGELS
By Noël Coward
Directed by Katina Psihos
London, 1925. Best friends, Julia and Jane, before marrying their husbands, both counted the dashing Frenchman Maurice Duclos as their lover. Now back in town, Maurice is requesting the pleasure of their company. As their husbands golf, the women plot and plan over copious glasses of champagne, with some “help” from a very worldly housekeeper, while awaiting the arrival of their former lover in this decadent and utterly entertaining comedy. With Coward at his inimitable best, the story is a champagne cocktail of wit and charm.

THE LION IN WINTER
By James Goldman
Directed by Angela Mason
Comedic in tone, dramatic in action – this play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II. Let out only for holidays, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over a kingdom during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says, “Every family has its ups and downs,” and this royal family is no exception.
