Show Pics: Coward’s dormant Volcano smoulders on stage

Inspired by an affair between Coward’s friend Ian Fleming (author of the Bond novels) and a plantation-owning society beauty, it gives a “fascinating insight into the decadent, scandal-ridden lifestyle” that Coward and his fellow ex-pats enjoyed.

Starring Jenny Seagrove, Jason Durr and Dawn Steele, Volcano runs at the Vaudeville Theatre until 9 September.
