Frankie & Johnny in the Clair De Lune *2010*
by Michael Lunney

Director Lynette Webster

International film stars Kelly McGillis (Top Gun, The Accused, Witness) and Rolf Saxon (Mission: Impossible, Entrapment) star in this lavish new production of Terrence McNally’s classic love story, set in 1980s New York.
Hard-boiled waitress Frankie and cock-sure chef Johnny find themselves in bed together after a first date. Johnny is certain he has found his soul mate, but Frankie is far more cautious and less inclined to jump to conclusions. As the night unfolds, they slowly begin to reveal themselves to each other as they take tentative steps towards the start of a possible relationship in this funny and tender, bittersweet romantic comedy.
Hollywood star Kelly McGillis’ stage appearances include Sir Peter Hall’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Hedda Gabler on Broadway. Rolf Saxon’s West End roles include Billy Flynn in Chicago and The Seven Year Itch opposite Daryl Hannah.

Originally an Off-Broadway hit, the theatre production of Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune also inspired a film version starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Contains some nudity and strong language.
Suitable for ages 16+.
£9.50 - £20.50
