(PLEASE NOTE: For your added enjoyment, SM Playreaders now have a Friday matinee)

“Fallen Angels” is a 1925 comedy by Noël Coward about two best married friends who descended in a comedic, cocktail-fueled rivalry when they receive word that a glamorous former French lover is visiting London.

Upper-class friends Julia Sterroll and Jane Banbury are married to their respective hairs, Fred and Willy. The husbands leave London for a weekend golf trip. Both women receive a postcard from Maurice Duclos, a dashing French paramour they had both passionate premarital affairs before they wed. Maurice announces he is arriving in London that very day.

Left alone, Julia and Jane begin reminiscing and drinking to soothe their growing anxiety and excitement. As the champagne flows, their sophisticated veneer cracks, revealing long-repressed and desires deep-seated jealousies. Their friendly bond deteriorates into a petty, comic rivalry as each woman tries to claim exclusive rights to Maurice’s impending By the time Maurice finally shows up, the women are completely intoxicated, emotional, and at each other’s throats.”
