Cast: Felicity Kendal , Dan Stevens , Phoebe Nicholls

Synopsis:
TV and stage icon Felicity Kendal leads a star cas as the glamorous socialite Florence Lancaster in Noel Coward's renowned play about the frivolous nature and narcissism of London's late 1920's aristocracy.

Amidst 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 od the "Vortex of beastliness" that drives Nicky to his demons.

Much loved for her illustrious television and stage career whch includes The Good Life and Rosemary and Thyme, as well as her remarkable sell-out success in Fallen Angels in London's West End, Felicity Kendal returns to the stage in Noel Coward's highly acclaimed play.

Peter Hall - one of the UK's most prolific and prestigious stage directors - directs a star cast including Dan Stevens best known for his outstanding performance in the BBC drama The Line of Beauty and for the recent West End production of Hay Fever, Phoebe Nicholls 'Cordelia Flyte' from Brideshead Revisited and Annette Badland Cutting It, Dr Who and Bergerac.

Apollo Theatre
Apollo Theatre - The Apollo Theatre was opened a month after the death of Queen Victoria - thus making it the first West End theatre of the Edwardian age. The auditorium was renovated in 1932. The balcony (3rd tier) is said to be the steepest in London.
The Apollo Theatre featured mostly musical comedies in the early days. The theatre became the home of Harry Gabriel Pelissier's. The Follies from 1908 to 1912. From the thirties it's specialised mostly in light comedies, thrillers and farces - Marc Camoletti's Boeing Boeing opened here in 1962 before transferring to the Duchess Theatre in 1965 where it completed a total of 2,035 performances. History then repeated itself when Camoletti's Don't Dress For Dinner opened here on 26 March 1991 before transferring to the Duchess Theatre on 26 October 1992 where it then closed on 1 March 1997. Other recent productions include Keith Waterhouse's Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell with Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris's Dead Guilty with Jenny Seagrove and Hayley Mills. The Broadway hit Sylvia by AR Gurney had a short run here in May 1996, proving once again that a hit on Broadway doesn't always translate into a hit in the West End.
