On 2 February 2019, the West End will become the home of the eagerly-awaiting stage-adaptation of All About Eve. If the film’s success is anything to go by, the show – with its all-star cast – is set to wow audiences.

To this day, it’s the only film to have received four female acting nominations.

Though, the origin of this story goes further back than the iconic film. All About Eve is based on the short story The Wisdom Of Eve by Mary Orr.

This story was inspired by an anecdote Mary was told by performer Elisabeth Bergner. Elisabeth shared her story of a young fan who she took under wing while she was performing in The Two Mrs Carrol
