In the stylish London flat of Julia and Frederick Sterroll in 1925, the play opens with the husbands, Frederick and William Banbury, departing for a golfing weekend, leaving their wives, Julia and Jane, to entertain themselves. Best friends Julia and Jane soon reveal a shared secret: both had passionate affairs with the charming Frenchman Maurice Duclos before their respective marriages—Julia's five years ago and Jane's seven. When postcards arrive from Maurice announcing his imminent arrival in London and his desire to see them, the women are thrown into a panic.
Excited yet guilty about their lingering attraction, they debate fleeing to avoid temptation, packing suitcases in haste, only for the doorbell to ring just as they prepare to leave.
Fallen Angels is a 1925 comedy of manners by Noël Coward when he was just 24 years old. 
The play explores female desire, marital boredom and social conventions through wit farce and romantic entanglements.
