The production will play at the Tabard Theatre from the 25th February until the 1st March.
It has been announced that Imogen Stubbs will star as Leni Riefenstahl in A Thing of Beauty, making its world premiere at the Tabard Theatre this February.
The play, written by Wendy Oberman and Jonathan Lewis, is also set to star: Tony Bell, Tony Boncza, Harry Bradley, Thomas Craig, Sophie McMahon and Harry Rundle.
In the Summer of 1975, Leni Riefentahl agrees to an in-depth interview with Harry Adams, a BBC documentary superstar nursing his own demons. Leni, older than Harry by more than a comfortable number of years, and Harry, each of them fuelled by their own ambition, fear, lies and ego, are shocked by the thunderbolt of mutual desire.
A Thing of Beauty asks can we… should we… ever detach art from the artist. And in this time of false truth, of cancelling, of revisionism, has it ever been more important to examine art as propaganda?
The creative team behind the production includes: Director Jonathan Lewis, Designer Juliette Demoulin, Lighting Designer Mark Dymock and Sound Designer Simon Slater. It is produced by Denise Silvey for Cahoots Theatre Company.
