Prism - starring Robert Lindsay and Tara Fitzgerald - opens at the Cambridge Arts Theatre on November 18.
The renowned English actor of stage and screen Robert Lindsay stars as the legendary cinematographer, director and photographer Jack Cardiff in Prism, which runs from November 18-23.
This delightfully witty and poignant story tells the story of Cardiff's extraordinary life.
Robert Lindsay began his professional acting career in 1973, and has starred extensively in theatre, television and film. Most notable credits include My Family, G.B.H, Galavant and Genius. Lindsay's theatre credits include Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (West End) and The Entertainer (The Old Vic).
The cast also stars Tara Fitzgerald, whose credits include Game of Thrones (seasons 3-5), Macbeth (Shakespeare's Globe) and Shipwreck (Almeida Theatre).
?The legendary Jack Cardiff has retired. His hard days of work - and play - on famous film sets are long behind him, as are his secret liaisons with some of the most famous women in the world.
Surrounded by memorabilia from a lifetime of 'painting with light', writing an autobiography should be easy - were it not that Jack would now rather live in the past than remember it.
