Two of Britain ’s best loved actors, Felicity Kendal and Simon Callow, star in the bittersweet classic comedy Chin Chin at the New Theatre, Cardiff from Tuesday 26 – Saturday 30 November.
Set in burgeoning 1950’s Paris, Chin Chin tells of the often hilarious and ultimately disastrous effect of the affair, as the jilted couple rendezvous in a Paris apartment to set the world to rights, where they declare their independence in life, and in love.
But out of these undesirable circumstances, special connections are forged, and the un-likely pair soon realise that they will leave the ‘city of love’ with more than they had bargained for!
