In 1920s Hollywood the business of making dreams come true is in full swing. Silent movie icon George Valentin has long been the darling of the silver screen when he falls for aspiring actress Peppy Miller. But while her star is about to rise, his might soon flicker out: amidst all the glamour, laughter and romance, the silent movie industry is on the brink of a revolution. With the Talkies on their way, George must either find his voice in a brave new world or lose everything he holds dear to a bygone era.
THE ARTIST has mesmerised film audiences across the world for over a decade, winning five Academy Awards, seven BAFTAs and three Golden Globe Awards. Now the beguiling love story is reinvented for the stage in a dazzling celebration of silent cinema that blends cutting-edge theatre-making with iconic music of the period.
THE ARTIST includes set & costume design by Tony and Olivier Award winner Christopher Oram, music by Tony Award winner Simon Hale, lighting by Zoe Spurr, sound by Tony and Olivier Award winner Simon Baker, video by Ash J Woodward, puppetry by Maia Kirkman-Richards and casting by Will Burton CDG. The associate director/choreographer is Ebony Molina and the musical director is Chris Poon.
THE ARTIST is a McOnie Company production produced by Theatre Royal Plymouth, The McOnie Company, Playful Productions, Bill Damaschke, Stephen and Nancy Gabriel and Underbelly.
