ACT's BRIEF ENCOUNTER Extends Again Through 10/17
American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) announced that the U.S. premiere of the groundbreaking production of Noël Coward's Brief Encounter has been extended again by popular demand through Sunday, October 17, 2009.
Directed and adapted for the stage by Emma Rice from the words and music of Coward, Brief Encounter will have seven additional performances: Tuesday, October 13, through Saturday, October 17, at 8 p.m. with a matinee on Saturday, October 17, at 2 p.m.
In this must-see limited engagement direct from sold-out performances all over the United Kingdom, acclaimed Kneehigh Theatre transforms an iconic love story into a jaw-dropping fusion of theater, film, and music. Forbidden passion brews in a 1938 railway station tearoom when a suburban housewife, over a series of stolen afternoons, falls madly in love with a married doctor.
Featuring Coward's infectious songs and ingeniously crafted with whimsical humor, dreamy romance, and stunning multimedia effects, Brief Encounter was nominated for four Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best Entertainment and Best Director. Hailed by critics as "a first-class return to romance" (Daily Telegraph) and "an imaginative feast" (Daily Express), Brief Encounter was originally produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and Cineworld and plays at A.C.T. through October 17, 2009.
Tickets are available by calling A.C.T. Ticket Services at 415.749.2228 or at http://www.act-sf.org.
