Noël Coward’s Sirocco at The Finborough Theatre

Returning for the first time to London in 99 years, Sirocco by Noël Coward will be performed at the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre in Earl’s Court for a strictly limited four-week run, from 24th November to 22nd December 2026.

About Sirocco

Set in Italy in the 1920s, Lucy Griffin is staying at a seaside hotel with her husband, Stephen, and her domineering mother-in-law, surrounded by the local ‘English Colony’ of elderly spinsters and a painfully hearty clergyman.

When Stephen leaves to go on a business trip, Lucy finds herself irresistibly drawn to Sirio Marson, a charismatic young Italian who represents everything that her respectable marriage lacks. 

Lucy astonishes everyone, including herself, when she runs away with Sirio to his artist’s studio in Florence. However, here she finds that the romantic Bohemian fantasy is very different from reality.

Sirocco has long been misjudged after one of the most disastrous opening nights in theatrical history; this genuine rediscovery brings newly unearthed, previously unperformed material to the stage as it explores sexual freedom, marriage, and social convention — and the consequences for a woman who dares to challenge them.

The Finborough Theatre has long been known for its unique rediscoveries of unfairly neglected plays, and it is now breaking new ground with its first entirely in-house production in ten years. This production reunites the team behind this year’s critically acclaimed production of The Old Ladies – Brigid Larmour (adaptor and director of the sell-out West End and Royal Shakespeare Company hit, The Merchant Of Venice 1936) directs, with Set Design by The Stage Debut Awards Best Designer nominee Juliette Demoulin, and Costume Design by the multi-award-nominated Carla Joy Evans, alongside award-winning producer Andrew Maunder (The Silver Cord, The Truth About Blayds).
