What is The Bodyguard about?

Following attempts on a young superstar's life, a former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer is hired to protect his new charge from a prolific and determined stalker. But Farmer discovers to his chagrin, that showbusiness works differently from what he is used to; Rachel Marron is headstrong, stubborn and a diva to boot. And she doesn't take kindly to following orders. A charged tug-of-war ensues, as each tries to press their boundaries of power - but what they don't expect, is to fall in love.

Tickets for The Bodyguard are now on sale.
