KELLY McGILLIS & ROLF SAXON Terrence McNally's classic love story set in 1980's New York. SPRING 2010 TOUR NOW COMPLETED |
|||||||||
"Beautifully crafted...McGillis plays to perfection Frankie, a failed actress who considers herself a simple person. Saxon’s utterly convincing Johnny is an ex-con who keeps a complete works of Shakespeare in his locker" The Stage Middle Ground Theatre Company proudly presents a lavish new production of Terrence McNally’s classic love story, set in 1980’s 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 bitter-sweet romantic comedy. Originally an Off-Broadway hit, the production also spawned a film version starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. International Hollywood star Kelly McGillis is known for box office film smashes including "Witness" with Harrison Ford, for which she received a golden globe nomination, "The Accused" with Jodie Foster, and of course the biggest box office film of 1986 - "Top Gun" with Tom Cruise. Her many stage appearances include Sir Peter Hall’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Hedda Gabler” on Broadway. Rolf Saxon’s many films include “Mission : Impossible” and “Entrapment”. His West-End roles include Billy Flynn in "Chicago", "Laughter on the 23rd Floor", and "The Seven Year Itch" opposite Darryl Hannah. Click for Biographies:
