National Theatre (NT)
Live is set to return to Stafford Gatehouse Theatre this month, kicking off
with an encore screening of a “landmark production” featuring two of the most
recognised faces of British theatre – Sir
Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian Mckellen.
Following their hit
run on Broadway, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart return to
the West End stage in Harold Pinter’s No Man's Land.
One summer's evening,
two ageing writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue
their drinking into the night at Hirst's stately house nearby. As the pair
become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable,
the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further
complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men.
Also starring Owen
Teale and Damien Molony, don’t miss this glorious revival of Pinter’s comic
classic.
In addition to No Man’s Land, the Gatehouse Theatre
will be screening a host of other National Theatre productions over the course
of 2017.
Set for live
broadcast on 2nd February, Lucian Msamati stars as Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s
iconic play, Amadeus – a tale of music, power and jealousy. Following this,
Gemma Arterton is Joan of Arc in the 16th February screening of the
George Bernard Shaw play, Saint Joan. Then on Thursday 9th
March, Ruth Wilson will star as the title role in a new version of Henrik
Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. Finally, the last NT Live broadcast of the
Spring Summer season will be Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night starring Tamsin Greig
as Malvolia.
More NT Live
screenings at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre will be announced over the course of
the year.
The National Theatre encore screening of No
Man’s Land will take place at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre on Thursday 12th January at 7pm.
Tickets are priced at £13, with a £10.50 concession price, and are
available from the Box Office on 01785 619080 or online via www.staffordgatehousetheatre.co.uk
