From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing.

Eve manoeuvres her way into Margo's Broadway role, becoming a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend, her playwright and his wife.

Only the cynical drama critic sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.

All About Eve was a sensation on its original release, winning six Academy Awards® and received the most nominations (14) in film history.

With an introduction from UWE symposium contributor Estella Tincknell.
