Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-nominated actor Elizabeth McGovern stars as Hollywood's original femme fatale Ava Gardner in a critically acclaimed new play lauded by Entertainment Weekly as mesmerizing and electric! The Golden Age of Cinema's Ava Gardner sat for a series of real-life interviews with writer Peter Evans in an attempt to glean the juicy details about her life story, her marriages to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra, and her turbulent relationship to Howard Hughes. Initially barred from publication, Evans' stories of a bygone era were published twenty-five years later with permission from Gardener's estate and is now reimagined on stage played by two powerful forces Elizabeth McGovern as Ava and Aaron Costa Ganis as Peter.
