Synopsis
The Vortex
$15.99 Published by Methuen
A storm is brewing that threatens to engulf the Lancaster family.
Returning from Paris, Nicky discovers that his glamorous socialite mother,
Florence, has taken a lover half her age
While Nicky battles with the conflicting emotions that this behaviour arouses, Florence is horrified by her son's devasting revelation
The Vortex caused a sensation when premiered on the London stage in 1924, and created a star out of its author and leading actor. As an unflinching expose of the hedonistic elite, it still retains its force as a provocatively modern drama
This edition includes a chronology and introduction by Sheridan Morley
