⭐ AVA – THE SECRET CONVERSATIONS – NEW PLAY ANNOUNCED – WRITTEN & STARRING ELIZABETH MCGOVERN ⭐
Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern will star as Ava Gardner in a new play, AVA – The Secret Conversations, it has been announced.
AVA – The Secret Conversations is a spellbinding new play from Elizabeth McGovern based on the book by Peter Evans and Ava Gardner.
Oscar nominated Ava Gardner was one of Hollywood’s greatest stars during the 1940s and 1950s, co-starring with legends such as Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster and Humphrey Bogart. But Ava’s film career was sometimes overshadowed by her three marriages to: Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra.
AVA – The Secret Conversations follows Ava’s collaboration with writer Peter Evans for her biography; throughout the process Evans struggled to elicit material from his often elusive and moody subject and, in the end, learned things about Ava he never expected. The book based on Evans’ notes, drafts and recordings was finally published in 2013, the year after his death.
Ava Gardner – The Secret Conversations is the stunning story of a legendary star’s public and private lives. Part fact, part fiction, the play assumes the time Ava and Evans spent together collaborating while she was living in London, flashing back to various moments throughout her career and introducing audiences to the men in her life.
Produced by Karl Sydow with design by 59 Productions.
AVA – The Secret Conversations will play the Riverside Studios, running from 14th January – 16th April 2022, with tickets on sale now.
Brilliant! ! !
