Hilarity and egos behind the scenes

Golden Globe winner, Amanda Donohoe, stars as theatrical grand dame, Lorraine Barrie, in Noël Coward’s final play, Star Quality. Coward conjures up a wickedly observant satire of a backstage world of talent and treachery.

The audience will meet a temperamental leading lady, a ruthless director, jaded old troupers and an innocent young playwright in their journey from the tentative first rehearsal to the triumphant opening night. Both leading lady and director are determined to get their own way, with hilarious results.

Amanda Donohoe’s credits include LA Law, Emmerdale and Liar Liar.

Star Quality will be showing at Cambridge Arts Theatre from Monday, November 28 to Saturday, December 2 with evening performances each evening at 7.45pm.

There will be additional matinees at 2.30pm on the Thursday and Saturday.

Tickets cost from £15 to £30 plus a £2 booking fee from 01223 503333.
