Georgia May Foote is Holly Golightly in the sparkling stage adaptation Breakfast at Tiffany’s at the New Theatre |
Strictly Come Dancing runner-up and Coronation Street favourite Georgia May Foote will play Holly Golightly in a sparkling, sophisticated stage adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The young starlet makes her professional stage debut in this show, which plays in Cardiff from Monday 7 – Saturday 12 November 2016, in the role that made Audrey Hepburn an overnight sensation.Based on Truman Capote’s beloved novella, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is set in 1940s New York. Fred, a young writer from Louisiana, meets Holly Golightly, a charming, vivacious and utterly eluive good-time girl. Everyone falls in love with Holly – including Fred. But Fred is poor, and Holly’s other suitors include a playboy millionaire and the future president of Brazil. As war rages on in Europe, Holly begins to fall in love with Fred – just as her past catches up with her. Speaking about the show, Georgia said: “I am so excited that for my first theatre role I will be playing such an iconic character. I cannot wait to join the cast of Breakfast at Tiffany’s as Holly Golightly. It’s a wonderful adaptation of an incredible story and I’m really thrilled to be part of it!” Joining Georgia in the cast are Matt Barber (Downton Abbey), Victor McGuire (Trollied, Bread), Robert Calvert, Naomi Cranston, Charlie de Melo, Tim Frances, Andrew Joshi, Melanie La Barrie, Sevan Stephan, Katy Allen and Andy Watkins. The classic novella has been adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize-winning Finalist and Tony and Olivier Award-winning playwright Richard Greenberg (Take Me Out, Three Days of Rain), and is directed by Artistic Director of Curve, Nikolia Foster.
