Tickets are now on sale for Noël Coward’s Private Lives starring Toby Stephens and Anna Chancellor which is being screened in UK cinemas for one night only from Thursday 6th February 2014.
Private Lives is the second production to be distributed as part of CinemaLive and Digital Theatre’s West End theatre series. The Chichester Festival Theatre production, directed by Jonathan Kent and starring Toby Stephens and Anna Chancellor, was captured during its run at the West End's Gielgud Theatre earlier this year.
In April Digital Theatre and CinemaLive announced their partnership to distribute a series of acclaimed productions, captured live in London’s West End, to cinemas around the world. In October, the Menier Chocolate Factory's production of Merrily We Roll Along became the first production in the series.
Robert Delamere, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Theatre said: “To be working once again with CinemaLive in bringing a second hit West End show to cinemas around the world is thrilling. Chichester Festival Theatre’s production ofNoël Coward’s classic comedy is outstanding, and Toby Stephens and Anna Chancellor’s superb performances have been rightly lauded. Following the huge success of the first production in our West End Theatre Series, Maria Friedman’s award-winning production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along, we look forward to further expanding the series, and extending the reach of the very best of British theatre to a global audience.”
Following a sell-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, Noël Coward’s dazzling and irresistible comedy transferred to the Gielgud Theatre where it played a limited season from 22nd June to 21st September 2013.
Elyot Chase (Toby Stephens) and Amanda Prynne (Anna Chancellor) are glamorous, rich, reckless… and divorced. Five years later, their love for one another is unexpectedly rekindled when they take adjoining suites of a French hotel while honeymooning with their new spouses. This chance encounter instantly reignites their passion, and they fling themselves headlong into a whirlwind of love and lust once more, without a thought for partners present orturbulences past.
Toby Stephens and Anna Chancellor are joined in the cast by Anthony Calf as Victor Prynne, Anna-Louise Plowman as Sibyl Chase and Sue Kelvin as Louise. Noël Coward’s Private Lives has design by Anthony Ward, lighting by Mark Henderson, sound by Paul Groothuis and music by Matthew Scott.
The West End theatre series marks the first time that productions from the West End’s leading commercial theatre producers are available in High Definition as a global cinema series. Other countries taking part in the series include the USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, The Netherlands, Russia and Brazil.
