A touch of Hollywood glamour comes to the New Theatre as Dallas icon Linda Gray stars in a new stage adaptation of Terms of Endearment from Tuesday 6 – Saturday 10 November. Based on the multi-Oscar winning film, Terms of Endearment is an endearing story of a mother and daughter finding love and fighting adversity and is a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud comedy and heart-rending drama. It also stars Coronation Street’s Suranne Jones and Prime Suspect’s John Bowe.A heartfelt comedy drama, Terms of Endearment explores the tumultuous relationship between Aurora, devoted but opinionated mother, and her headstrong daughter, Emma. As Aurora struggles to impose order on her wayward daughter’s chaotic life she finds her own taking an unexpectedly thrilling turn; she falls deeply in love for the first time in her life. Alas, Garrett seems to be as much a cad as her daughter’s husband and only when tragedy strikes the family is he revealed as a man with a heart of gold. Terms of Endearment stars Golden Globe winner Linda Gray who won international fame and critical acclaim with her portrayal of Sue Ellen in the legendary television phenomenon Dallas. She most recently starred as Mrs Robinson in The Graduate both in the West End and on Broadway. She is joined by Suranne Jones as Emma and John Bowe as the astronaut, Garrett.
