David Vereia Olivia's Line

David Varela

Set in Rome in 1962, "Olivia's Line" takes you behind the scenes of the production of Cleopatra, the biggest and most expensive movie ever made, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The film is plagued by delays and budget issues, while the co-stars are embroiled in scandal.

Amidst the chaos, Gil, the production meteorologist, finds himself infatuated with Olivia, one of Cleopatra's handmaidens, who is decidedly uninterested in him. This captivating play, directed by Mary Peate, features a talented cast including Andrew Scott, Kelly Reilly, and John Schwab.
