The Vortex

The roaring twenties. A world in flux. The magnetic Florence Lancaster draws people to her like moths to a flame. But when her son Nicky arrives home from Paris with an unexpected fianc-and a secret, it sets off a chain of events which threatens to pull them all into a maelstrom.No-Coward-s brilliantly witty and stinging portrait of the darkness beneath the glittering surface of the Jazz Age is as vivid today as when it premiered, causing a sensation and catapulting its young writer to his first great success.This revised edition returns to Coward-s original drafts and was published to coincide with Chichester Festival Theatre-s new production directed by Daniel Raggett and starring Lia Williams and JoshuaJames, in April 2023.
