Torvill &
Dean: Our Life on Ice
Newcastle Mill Volvo Tyne
Theatre
Sunday 30th November 2014
The Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre are thrilled to
announce that, for the
first time ever, legendary ice skating duo Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean
will talk to fans in an intimate setting about their fascinating career and
give their own side to the stories that have been reported in the press over
the years.
The ‘Our Life On Ice: In Conversation
With Torvill & Dean’ UK theatre tour follows the publication of their much
anticipated autobiography, ‘Torvill & Dean: Our Life On Ice’. Ticket
holders will receive a limited edition copy of the book, only available to
audiences of this very limited run!
Torvill & Dean said: “We are both
very much looking forward to the UK tour that will combine our love of being on stage in
front of our fans with the publication of our autobiography. The fact that we
won’t be on the ice might seem strange at first, but it will give us the chance
to meet the people who have supported us over the past 30 years in an intimate
setting where we can share our stories live in front of theatre audiences.”
When Jayne Torvill and Christopher
Dean threw themselves to the ice for the climax of their routine for the Bolero
at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, the judges could find no faults and
awarded them the 12 maximum scores of 6.0, while 24-million British viewers
watched at home in amazement.
Following that triumphant win, the
world became fascinated by ice skating and everyone wanted to know more about
the young couple at the heart of it all.
Despite intense interest in them both
from media and the public alike, Torvill & Dean kept their lives private,
with many still wondering if the pair were really a couple both on and off the
ice. They turned professional and would eventually spend 10 glorious years
working on ITV’s Dancing on Ice, yet with still much of their story remaining
untold.
Now, in ‘Torvill & Dean – Our
Life On Ice’ (to be published by Simon & Schuster on 8th October), the
iconic Olympic champions finally open up about the challenges they have faced
and the pressures of life in the public eye. Jayne speaks candidly about her
struggles to start a family, while Chris reveals the heartache within his own
family story. And of course, there is the skating, and the stories about what
inspired their famous routines, and what the pair hope to achieve in the future
as they approach their 40th Anniversary of working together.
It is the book that millions of their
fans have been waiting to read and the UK tour gives their fans the chance to hear the stories from
the book live and in person.
