Perth Theatre presents
Sunset Boulevard: The Backstage Cut
A fascinating insight into the one of the most iconic films in cinematic history. In front of the camera were award-winning performances centred around the story of a wealthy egotistical faded star, Norma Desmond, desperate to ‘return to the millions of fans she deserted’, and a young down-on-his-luck writer who sees an opportunity to exploit the situation.
Backstage, the drama was no less fraught, filled with unexpected twists: why did Mae West turn down the leading role? How did Hollywood react to a savage indictment of the star system (and the monsters) it creates? Find out as Morag Fullarton (
Casablanca: the Gin Joint Cut) turns all this and more into a captivating theatrical treat.
