See Ralph Fiennes acclaimed performance in Bernard Shaw classic play
Audiences can see Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List, Oedipus at the National Theatre) plays Jack Tanner in this exhilarating reinvention of Bernard Shaw’s witty, provocative classic at the Leatherhead Theatre on Thursday 14 May at 7.00pm.
The plays centres on Jack Tanner, celebrated radical thinker and rich bachelor, who seems an unlikely choice as guardian to the alluring heiress, Ann. But she takes it in her assured stride and, despite the love of a poet, she decides to marry and tame this dazzling revolutionary.
Tanner, appalled by the whiff of domesticity, is tipped off by his chauffeur and flees to Spain, where he is captured by bandits and meets The Devil. An extraordinary dream-debate, heaven versus hell, ensues. Following in hot pursuit, Ann is there when Tanner awakes, as fierce in her certainty as he is in his.
Written by Bernard Shaw in 1903, Man and Superman this four act drama is loosely based on the theme of Don Juan, but interpreted in Bernard Shaw’s unique style. A romantic comedy, an epic fairy tale, a fiery philosophical debate, Man and Superman will be asking audiences fundamental questions about how we live.
Tickets priced at £16.50 for adults and £13.50 for concessions can be purchased by calling the Leatherhead Theatre box office on 01372 365141 or online at www.theleatherheadtheatre.org.
