Tracy-Ann Oberman stars as Geri Essendine in this new production of Noël Coward’s celebrated and hilarious portrayal of the temptations and pitfalls of theatrical celebrity.

​

Geri Essendine is a hugely successful actress who has been 39 for the best part of a decade. Her personality, wit and charm have earned her a legion of devoted fans, young and old, and a coterie of friends, acquaintances and hangers-on. 

Just as she is about to depart for a tour of Africa, Geri finds herself besieged by a bevvy of would-be lovers, not to mention her long-suffering secretary, estranged husband and an obsessed young playwright.

 

Will she ever disentangle herself from their tightening clutches and incessant demands? And deep down, does she really want to…?

​

Tracy-Ann Oberman returns to the stage following her highly acclaimed performance as the first female Shylock in The Merchant of Venice 1936. 

​

Lindsay Posner, fresh from his West End triumphs of Noises Off, A View From the Bridge and The Deep Blue Sea, directs.
