NT Live: Present Laughter

Thursday 28th November at 19:00

Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag) in Noël Coward’s provocative comedy Present Laughter.

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Captured live from The Old Vic in London, Present Laughter is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

Tosca Live from La Scala

Saturday 7th December at 17:00

This fantastic new production of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca follows the publication of musicologist Roger Parker’s critical edition for Ricordi. The Music Director Riccardo Chailly presents Puccini’s work in the light of this most recent research, building on

the great success of La Scala’s Turandot, La Fanciulla del West, Madama Butterfly and Manon Lescaut. Giacomo Puccini’s masterpieces have so far been presented in versions that often bear the burden of tradition.

With the return of Director Davide Livermore, already highly acclaimed for Attila, this inaugural version of Tosca will be first and foremost at a music festival. Combined with the stunning stage set design of Giò Forma and the powerful voices of Anna Netrebko and Luca Salsi, this thrilling spectacle is not to be missed.

Live by satellite on Saturday 7th December 2019 at 5pm in cinemas across the UK with English subtitles. The best seat in town delivered with immersive surround sound and crystal clear HD. The cinema ticket will include a highly collectable exclusive printed Libretto with English translation courtesy of La Scala.

Tony Award winning musical, Kinky Boots comes to the big screen for the first time ever. Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein’s heartwarming and beloved musical, based upon the Miramax movie written by Geoff Deane & Tim Firth, has been filmed at the Adelphi Theatre in London.

Lola is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learn to embrace their differences and create a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship.
