I’ll Be Seeing You
Written by Martin Sherman
Directed by Alan Cumming and Ben Occhipinti
A Pitlochry Festival Theatre Production
Presented with thanks, by special arrangement with the Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts
“One of the top 10 theatre shows to see this autumn” — The Guardian
What if Liberace walked into a play about Liberace?
That’s the problem. Because when you’re writing about the greatest showman of them all, what happens when the man himself turns up to check your work?
Simon Russell Beale and Fra Fee go head-to-head in a gloriously bonkers, fabulously funny new play about Liberace: the rhinestones, the ego, the glamour, the scandal, the piano… and the man behind it all.
He was flamboyant. He was outrageous. And he knew exactly how to put on a show. And, frankly, he still does. But somewhere behind the sequins, the furs and the forty rings was someone who spent a lifetime deciding exactly how much of himself the world was allowed to see.
Come meet Liberace. Get ready for the glitter.
Sunday 4 October: Ticket holders can stay after the curtain for a post-show discussion with Alan Cumming, Simon Russell Beale, Fra Fee and Martin Sherman, as they share their insights into I’ll Be Seeing You and the journey of bringing this extraordinary production to the stage. An exclusive opportunity to hear from the artists themselves, this 30-minute post-show conversation promises a fascinating and memorable end to the evening. Please note this is a post-show discussion and it is not a meet-and-greet opportunity.
