Theatre: , Comedy

How Much: £50.00 (Highest Price) , £25.00 (Lowest Price)
Shunning the superficial world in which he works, Alceste pours his disillusionment into his work and becomes a successful playwright, convinced he is above the vanity and shallowness everyone else seems to revel in.

His world is shaken when he falls for an unattainable, ambitious American actress (Keira Knightly).

If you can bear Knightly, (with an American accent we might add) this adaptation of Moliere's classic comedy has a fantastic cast and a superb script. This'll be very popular, so book in advance.
