Felicity Kendal to Star in the Argument As Part of Theatre Royal Bath’S 2019 Summer Season PRESS RELEASE – Friday 29 March 2019 IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED here Twitter/ Facebook / website FELICITY KENDAL TO STAR IN THE ARGUMENT AS PART OF THEATRE ROYAL BATH’S 2019 SUMMER SEASON FELICITY KENDAL TO STAR IN WILLIAM BOYD’S THE ARGUMENT, DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER LUSCOMBE THE ARGUMENT RUNS FROM 7 TO 24 AUGUST WITH PRESS NIGHT ON 12 AUGUST, AS PART OF THEATRE ROYAL BATH’S 2019 SUMMER SEASON PRIORITY BOOKING OPENS ON 29 MARCH WITH GENERAL ON-SALE FROM 5 APRIL IMAGES AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD HERE Theatre Royal Bath today announces The Argument by William Boyd, its third Summer Season production, with Felicity Kendal starring in the role of Chloe. The production, directed by Christopher Luscombe, will run in the Main House from 7 to 24 August with opening night for press on 12 August. The Argument delves into what it is to dispute with those we love and offers a biting take on human dynamics. This is an often hilarious, darkly comic and compelling exploration of how it is the tone in which words are said which has such potency. Pip and Meredith are having a disagreement about a film they’ve just seen when Pip’s phone rings and a full-scale row about their marriage breaks out. In the course of ten arguments, we follow the repercussions, as Meredith’s parents, Chloe and Frank, her best-friend Jane, and Pip’s best-friend Tony, take sides and end up embroiled in arguments of their own. Vitriolic, razor-sharp and veracious, the arguments rake over past prejudices, expose unjust judgements and reveal difficult truths. The Argument will run in addition to the previously announced Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward, directed by Richard Eyre and starring Jennifer Saunders as well as Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya in which Rupert Everett makes his directorial stage debut and will also play the title role in a new version by David Hare. Further casting and the full summer programme will be announced in due course. Felicity Kendal CBE is one of the UK’s best-loved actresses, best known for her role in the BBC sitcom The Good Life.

AS: You have been described as both a producer and an impresario, although some critics claim that there is nowadays an uncertainty as to the precise meaning of these words. Given the slippage between the two, and that you have been described using each of the terms, but that they are not mutually exclusive, which would you describe yourself as? MC: I sometimes say impresario but it sounds like the wretched man from Pinocchio, doesn't it? Do you remember that man that tried to capture Pinocchio? But I really am a producer, a theatre producer. Yes, impresario sounds rather evil, doesn't it? [laughs] Perhaps I am evil, occasionally. AS: So how would you define this profession before 1968, what would it involve? MC: As far as I'm concerned? Well you’re asking me to talk about 1945 aren't you first, when I was all of 15. AS: What about after you became a producer, how would you define the profession? MC: No I didn't become a producer until 1950-something. AS: You're right, we'll do it chronologically.

Thank you to the entire faculty of the College of Film and the Moving Image, for enriching my understanding of film and giving me the necessary tools to think critically about film. Thank you to Julia Randall, Meredith Hughes, Terttu Uibopuu, Tushar Irani, Bill Dawson, and Andrew Szegedy-Maszak, the professors and teachers who shaped the way I think about the world, taught me how to approach problems, and expanded my own universe.
