About The Show

The Chocolate Factory is pleased to present the UK premier of the musical version of the best-selling novel by Robert James Waller and subsequent motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood.

Francesca is an Italian immigrant housewife living a happy existence on a farm in the American Midwest. However, when her family go off to the State Fair, she meets Robert Kincaid, a National Geographic photographer on assignment filming bridges in the area. Their initial friendship develops into a brief but passionate affair which has devastating consequences on all of their lives.
