Breakfast at Tiffany’s is Samuel Adamson’s hotly anticipated, brand new adaptation of Truman Capote’s classic 1958 novella. The story of Holiday ‘Holly’ Golightly’s antics as a Texas born hick turned New York socialite happily taking money from wealthy old men in return for her company and conversation. William, the struggling writer in the apartment upstairs, falls madly in love with his enigmatic neighbour. While both know that he’s not what she’s looking for, she reveals her true self to him as her past catches up with her.

Immortalised on screen in the 1961 movie which starred Audrey Hepburn in one of the most iconic roles in Hollywood history, this new production marks only the second time Breakfast at Tiffany’s has taken to the stage. A musical adaptation of the film famously closed after only four performances on Broadway in 1966, and it is often said in theatre circles that if as many people who say they saw that show actually had seen it, then it would have run forever. The new play at the Theatre Royal Haymarket takes more from the original story than the film, and moves the action back to the 1940’s, just as Capote had originally written it. Fans of the film will not be disappointed though; the movie’s Oscar winning song Moon River will be included.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s stars Brookside and Pushing Daisies actress Anna Friel as Holly Golightly and Milk star Joseph Cross as William.
