Extraordinary award-winning production featured on the big screen at Mary D. Fisher Theatre
Sedona AZ (April 5, 2014) – The Sedona International Film Festival is pleased to present the second title in a series of West End theatre productions: Noël Coward’s “Private Lives” on Thursday, April 17. The festival hosts the big screen premiere of the theatrical triumph at its Mary D. Fisher Theatre. There will be two shows at 4 and 7 p.m.
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 or turbulences past. This explosive production proves Noël Coward still has the power to thrill, provoke and delight.
Described by the critics as “one of the finest productions of the play I have seen … startlingly fresh, funny and unexpectedly moving,” says The Daily Telegraph.
“You don’t want the night to end,” raves The Sunday Times.
“Quite possibly the performance of a lifetime for Stephens,” says The Independent.
“Amanda Prynne is a role Anna Chancellor was born to play,” says The Financial Times.
Originally a Chichester Festival Theatre production, “Private Lives” was captured live in London at the Gielgud Theatre, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre.
“Private Lives” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, April 17 at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15, or $12.50 for Film Festival members. Tickets are available in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival, online at www.SedonaFilmFestival.org or by calling 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
