JOSIE ROURKE CELEBRATES FILM NOIR IN THIS NEW REVIVAL

Not seen on the West End stage for over 20 years, innovative director Josie Rouke helms this homage to film noir and pulp detective novels with snazzy jazz and scintallating lyrics.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Former Coronation Street fave Katherine Kelly and Les Mis starlet Samantha Barks star in Josie Rourke's revival of this film-noiresque musical, which follows the tumultuous change in fortune of a 1940s detective novel author who sells his book to a Hollywood studio for adaptation. Whilst the resulting film is shot in black and white, he finds that his life becomes all-too colourful as the excesses of Tinseltown beckon and finally engulf him in booze, sin and stardom.

Featuring Cy Coleman's sizzling jazz score, this celebration of film noir and the Hollywood studio system era is set to be a favourite.
