The Menier Chocolate Factory has announced full casting for their revival of Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels.
The first production in London for 25 years, and celebrating the 100th anniversary of Coward’s play, Fallen Angels is running at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 21 November 2025 to 21 February 2026.
The show will star multi-Olivier Award-winner Janie Dee (Follies, The Motive and the Cue) as Julia Steroll, and Ian Charleson Award winner Alexandra Gilbreath (Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew – RSC) as Jane Banbury.
The wider cast features Christopher Hollis (Mamma Mia!) as Bill Banbury, Richard Teverson (Witness for the Prosecution) as Fred Steroll, Sarah Twomey (Filumena) as Saunders, and Graham Vick (Mrs Henderson Presents) as Maurice Duclos.
Noël Coward’s outrageous comedy centres on best friends Jane and Julia. Both settled in happy marriages, they receive an unexpected visit from a glamorous shared ex-boyfriend, and passions are rekindled with explosive results.
Directed by Christopher Luscombe (Travels with My Aunt, Fascinating Aïda), the creative team also includes Set Designer Simon Higlett, Costume Designer Fotini Dimou, Lighting Designer Oliver Fenwick, Sound Designer Adam Cork, Composer Nigel Hess, and Movement by Nicola Keen.
Last week the Menier Chocolate Factory announced its new 2025/2026 season, which also included new productions of The Holy Rosenbergs by Ryan Craig, and Equus by Peter Shaffer.
A new production of Fallen Angels is also opening at the Roundabout Theatre Company in New York next year, starring Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara, directed by Scott Ellis.
