Theatre Royal Brighton: Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the classic tale of Holly Golightly written by Truman Capote comes to the Theatre Royal Brighton
Memorably portrayed by Audrey Hepburn in the iconic 1961 film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is given a new lease of life as a stage play with music in a sparkling, sophisticated production starring Georgia May Foote as Holly Golightly. The production visits Theatre Royal Brighton for a week from Tuesday 25 to Saturday 29 October. There will be an additional weekday matinée on Wednesday as well as the regular Thursday and Saturday matinées, in expectation of high demand.
Georgia was runner up in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing. Her TV acting roles include Katy Armstrong in Coronation Street, Gemma in This Is England ’86 and Alison Simmons in Grange Hill.
Truman Capote’s classic novella has been adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony and Olivier Award-winning playwright Richard Greenberg (Take Me Out, Three Days of Rain), and contains memorable songs from the era as well as original music by Grant Olding (One Man, Two Guvnors).
Based on Truman Capote’s beloved masterwork, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is set in New York in 1943. Fred, a young writer from Louisiana, meets Holly Golightly, a charming, vivacious and utterly elusive good time girl. Everyone falls in love with Holly – including Fred. But Fred is poor, and Holly’s other suitors include a playboy millionaire and the future president of Brazil.
As war rages on in Europe, Holly begins to fall in love with Fred – just as her past catches up with her.
Director of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Nikolai Foster, said of the casting of Georgia May Foote, “We are all thrilled Georgia is joining the Breakfast at Tiffany’s team. It’s hugely inspiring for all of us to be working with actors who are perfectly suited to the role and will help encourage new generations of theatregoers to share Capote’s beautiful story.”
Do not miss this stylish production, which includes memorable songs from the era – it will be sure to capture your heart.
