NS Archive 2018: Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune
Mon 21 May – Sat 2 Jun 2018
Frankie and Johnny have just had sex for the first time.
Two ordinary people in New York City, each with their own history of disappointments, hoping for more than a one-night stand.
Frankie wants Johnny to put on his clothes and leave, so she can eat ice-cream with the TV on. But Johnny, a compulsive talker (and romantic), has other ideas.
Tender and funny, it’s an intimate look at the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance.
Mark Calvert directs this offbeat romantic comedy, first produced in New York 30 years ago with Kathy Bates and Kenneth Welsh and later made into a film starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer.
