In her mansion on Sunset Boulevard, faded, silent-screen goddess, Norma Desmond, lives in a fantasy world. Impoverished screen writer, Joe Gillis, on the run from debt collectors, stumbles into her reclusive world. Persuaded to work on a script that she believes will put her back in front of the cameras, he is seduced by her life-style. Joe becomes entrapped in a claustrophobic world until his love for another woman leads him to break free with dramatic consequences. The concerts will feature a 24- piece socially-distanced orchestra playing DAVID CULLEN & ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S original orchestrations.
Tickets on sale Friday 25 September, 12pm.
