Photo Flash: 'Moonlight & Magnolias' West End Premiere

The West End premiere of Ron Hutchinson's Moonlight and Magnolias opens October 1 at the Tricycle Theatre, with performances through November 3.

"Legendary Jewish producer David O. Selznick and writer Ben Hecht join (reluctant) forces with director Vic Fleming, poached directly from the set of The Wizard of Oz, in a desperate and hilarious attempt to re-write the script of Gone with the Wind as they shut down production on the movie.  Moonlight and Magnolias is a parody of the inside workings of the film industry and an insightful look at the politics of 1930's Hollywood," explain press notes.

Sean Holmes directs with designs by Francis O'Connor, lighting by Davy Cunningham and sound by Carolyn Downing. The cast is Josephine Butler (Miss Poppenghul), Duncan Bell (Hecht), Andy Nyman (Selznick) and Steven Pacey (Fleming).

Show times are Monday – Saturday at 8PM, Saturday matinee at 4PM.
