Genre Musical

First Performance 05/04/2006

Closing 30/04/2006

Projectionist Sebastian Venable greets the ghosts of movie stars of the past. He has a dialogue with his favourite diva, the now almost forgotten Alla Nazimova. He reveals to her his feelings of loss and desperation and his search for the real Sebastian on celluloid. They go on a journey through Hollywood via the silent 20s, the advent of sound, a Fred Astaire musical, World War II, horror film niors, Doris Day comedies, Hitchcock thrillers, sex revolution in the 60s, AIDS dramas, comedies starring Julia Roberts’ best friend and the 2006 Oscar night. Will Sebastian find himself in this cavalcade of cinematic triumphs?

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision. Please email ticketing@officiallondontheatre.com to find out more about your chosen show.
