National Theatre Live
30th January 2010 - 22nd April 2010
Following on from NT Live's international sell-out screenings of Phèdre with Helen Mirren, this is an exciting opportunity for Belfast audiences to see two top theatre productions direct from London in an innovative and accessible new way.
Nation adapted by Mark Ravenhill, based on the novel by Terry Pratchett:
Following His Dark Materials, Coram Boy and War Horse, the National stages Mark Ravenhill's exhilarating adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Nation, his latest witty and challenging adventure story.
A parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau's village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress; neither speaks the other's language; somehow they must learn to survive.
This spectacular family production is suitable for ages 10+.
The Habit of Art (pictured) by Alan Bennett:
Alan Bennett's new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion's spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.
5 STARS "Another absolute cracker, often wonderfully and sometimes filthily funny, but also deeply and unexpectedly moving." Daily Telegraph
5 STARS "Bennett the maestro returns with a multi-layered masterpiece." Independent
