FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ENZIAN AND ANNIE RUSSELL THEATRE PRESENT NEW SEASON OF NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE PRODUCTIONS
Orlando, FL – (January 16, 2020) – Enzian and Annie Russell Theatre are proud to present another season of National Theatre Live, the National Theatre's groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre from the London stage to cinemas around the world. Enzian is currently scheduled to play three productions: All My Sons, starring Academy Award-winner Sally Field and Bill Pullman; A Midsummer Night’s Dream, starring Gwendoline Christie; and Present Laughter, starring Andrew Scott.
Individual tickets to each screening are available for purchase, as well as a Season Pass, which allows patrons to see all three productions at a discount and includes one free glass of house wine at each show.
WHAT: National Theatre Live: All My Sons Sunday, February 2nd at 11AM Recorded live from The Old Vic in London, Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias, Brothers & Sisters) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day) star in Arthur Miller’s blistering drama All My Sons.
America, 1947. Despite hard choices and even harder knocks, Joe and Kate Keller are a success story. They have built a home, raised two sons and established a thriving business.
But nothing lasts forever and their contented lives, already shadowed by the loss of their eldest boy to war, are about to shatter. With the return of a figure from the past, long buried truths are forced to the surface and the price of their American dream is laid bare.
Jeremy Herrin (NT Live: This House, People, Places & Things) directs the cast, which also includes Jenna Coleman (Victoria), and Colin Morgan (Merlin) alongside Bessie Carter, Oliver Johnstone, Kayla Meikle and Sule Rimi. 2019, 165 minutes
National Theatre Live: A Midsummer Night’s Dream Saturday, March 21st at 11AM ‘The course of true love never did run smooth.’
A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences.
Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing, NT Live: Young Marx), David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom.
Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream builds on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre became a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot. 2019, 180 minutes
National Theatre Live: Present Laughter Saturday, May 16th at 11AM 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 colorful life is in danger of spiraling 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. 2019, 180 minutes
