As in the 2020s, the 1920s emerged from a pandemic, a financial crash and war. The decade responded, in the words of Zelda Fitzgerald, by going into battle ‘with audacity and rouge’, and with cocktails (‘giggle juice’), new plays, new fashions and new sounds from Noel Coward and Ivor Novello to the Great American Songbook which have become immortal. Join us to celebrate a decade of laughter, love, gossip and intrigue. A time that was too good to last. As the decade ended there was the inevitable sense of ‘The Party’s Over Now’ but what a decade it was!
‘The Twenties were drenched in melody’ (Beverly Nichols)
