    A scene from Fallen Angels (1923), written by the English dramatist Noël Coward (1899-1973), and first produced and directed by Stanley Bell at the Globe Theatre, London, on 21st April 1925.

   Fallen Angels was written in 1923 as the post-war Jazz Age was beginning to flourish but it was not performed until 1925, as producers  - in this case Anthony Princep of the Globe Theatre, raided Coward’s back catalogue after the success of The Vortex. Even before it opened, though, it caused controversy.
