Photo Flash: First Look at THE BAY AT NICE at Menier Chocolate Factory

The Menier Chocolate Factory presents major revival of David Hare's The Bay at Nice. Richard Eyre directs Martin Hutson, Ophelia Lovibond, David Rintoul and Penelope Wilton. The production opens on 19 March, with previews from 14 March, and runs until 4 May. Tickets go on sale to supporters of the Menier on 21 January, with public booking opening at 9am on 28 January.

In Leningrad in 1956, Valentina Nrovka has been invited to the Hermitage to offer her opinion on the authenticity of a Matisse painting, as she knew the great artist personally. Her daughter Sophia, also a painter, meets her there to seek her mother's help, both financially and politically. This first London revival of David Hare's play, since its première at the National Theatre in 1986, explores a mother and daughter's fight for personal ideals and domestic responsibilities, as well as the choices made both in life and art.
