According to press materials, the play gives a fascinating insight into the glamorous and scandalous Caribbean lifestyle that Coward himself enjoyed. In the play, recently widowed Adela Shelly finds herself being seduced by the suave Guy Littleton, a visitor to her elegant Caribbean house on the side of an island volcano. When Guy's acid-tongued wife Melissa decides to fly in to see off the competition, she hasn't considered that Adela’s best friend, Ellen, might also be falling for her husband's charms! As tensions bubble up from under the surface and begin to erupt, so does the volcano, all with explosive consequences.
