Kelly McGillis & Rolf Saxon star in Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune at Llandudno

Feb 25 2010 Flintshire Chronicle

INTERNATIONAL film stars Kelly McGillis and Rolf Saxon star in a lavish new production of Terrence McNally’s classic love story Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune at Venue Cymru in Llandudno this week.

Hard-boiled waitress Frankie and cock-sure chef Johnny, find themselves in bed together after a first date. Johnny is certain he has found his soul mate, but Frankie is far more cautious and less inclined to jump to conclusions.

Originally an off-Broadway hit, the production also spawned a film version starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer.

International Hollywood star Kelly McGillis is known for box office film smashes including Witness with Harrison Ford, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination, The Accused with Jodie Foster, and of course, the biggest box office film of 1986 – Top Gun with Tom Cruise.

Rolf Saxon’s many films include Mission: Impossible and Entrapment. His West End roles include Billy Flynn in Chicago and The Seven Year Itch opposite Darryl Hannah.

The play can be seen from tonight (Thursday) until Saturday. Ring 01492 872000 or visit www.venuecymru.co.uk.
