Kind Hearts and Coronets

At Swansea Grand Theatre, Swansea · 2 performances from Fri 25 Sept to Fri 25 Sept.

Presented by Ignition Adapted by Derek Webb from the original novel on which the classic Ealing Comedy was based. Directed by Peter Richards. Archie Gascoyne Williams is a man on a mission. He comes from a long, illustrious (and very wealthy) family — that of the Gascoynes - through his mother. But she was disowned by the family because she married beneath her rank, by marrying a travelling salesman in ladies’ underwear. Nevertheless, as Archie discovers, he by the laws of heredity is in line to inherit the title of Earl Gascoyne (and the family fortunes) should the intervening Gascoynes die.
