HOLLYWOOD LEGEND COMING TO DARLINGTON
Hollywood and Broadway
legend, Stefanie Powers, stars in a major new production of 84 Charing Cross
Road coming to Darlington Hippodrome from Wednesday 23 May.
Adapted from Helene Hanff's best-selling book,
84 Charing Cross Road has been delighting audiences since it's premiere in
1981. A tender and heart-warming take of transatlantic friendship, this
bittersweet comedy is based on the extraordinary true story of the remarkable
relationship that developed over 20 years between a vivacious New York writer
and a London bookseller. Through their exchange of humorous and often intimate
correspondence a snapshot of Britain from the post-war 1940's to the swinging
60's is revealed, alongside a touching human story that still resonates today.
Stefanie Powers plays Helene Hanff. A star of
stage and screen with a career spanning over 50 years, Powers is best known for
her role opposite Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart, which ran over 5 series and 8
TV movies between 1979 and 1996. Her extensive film and TV credits include
McLintock!, The Magnificent Seven Ride Again, The Rockford Files, The Bionic Woman,
The Six Million Dollar Man and The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.
Clive Francis stars opposite Stefanie Powers
in the role of Frank Doel. Clive’s recent credits include Les Blancs (National
Theatre), Enron, The Madness of King George III (West End), The Queen and Mr
Turner; and most recently as Lord Salisbury in the award-winning Netflix series
The Crown.
84 Charing Cross Road runs at Darlington
Hippodrome from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 May.
