Margo Channing. Legend. True star of the theatre. The spotlight is hers, always has been. But now there’s Eve. Her biggest fan. Young, beautiful Eve. The golden girl, the girl next door. But you know all about Eve…don’t you…?
Ivo van Hove directs Gillian Anderson and Lily James in his new adaptation of All About Eve, a razor-sharp, unsettling exposé of the eternal obsession at the heart of show-business. Lifting the curtain on a world of jealousy and ambition, this new production, from one of the world’s most innovative theatre directors, asks why our fascination with celebrity, youth and identity never seems to get old.
Throughout the run of All About Eve, over 20,000 tickets will be offered at £25 or under. It is today announced that Day Seats will be available each day from 10am at the Box Office for performances on that same day, priced at £25. Audiences can also access front row seats through the Today Tix mobile and online lottery at the same price.
