Bath Theatre Royal “Tale of Two Cities” Saturday 23rd January at 2.30 pm

In 1770s Paris, revolution is stirring. Sydney Carton is a brilliant yet cynical barrister from England.
Charles Darnay is the rebel child of French aristocrats. When they both fall for charming émigré Lucie
Manette, a chain of events is set in motion which will endanger everyone. As the Reign of Terror rages on
the streets of Paris, for some, love is a lifeline; for others, a sentence to the guillotine.
Adapted by Terence Rattigan (The Winslow Boy, The Deep Blue Sea) and John Gielgud, based on one of
the best-selling novels of all time, this epic story of love, sacrifice and redemption asks: is there any price
too great to pay for love?

A Marlowe Theatre production, directed by Michael Fentiman (Amélie, RSC’s Titus Andronicus, The Lion,
the Witch and the Wardrobe, Loot).
