TV and stage icon Felicity Kendal leads a star cast as the glamorous socialite Florence Lancaster in Noel Coward's renowned play about the frivolous nature and narcissism of London's late 1920s aristocracy.
Against a backdrop of glittering decadence, THE VORTEX centres on the tempestuous relationship of Florence and her hedonistic son Nicky. With the mother's desire for younger men driven by her refusal to grow old, and the son's obsession with competing for her love, Florence Lancaster's insatiable needs are fundamentally the crux of the 'Vortex of beastliness' that drives Nicky to his demons.
Directed by Peter Hall, one of the UK's most prolific directors.
