HEDDA GABLER - National Theatre Live April 1, 2017 (Encore) Directed by Patrick Marber; Starring Ruth Wilson Just married. Bored already. Hedda longs to be free. Hedda and Tesman have just returned from their honeymoon and the relationship is already in trouble. Trapped but determined, Hedda tries to control those around her, only to see her own world unravel. Tony Award-winning director Ivo van Hove (A View from the Bridge at the Young Vic Theatre) returns to National Theatre Live screens with a modern production of Ibsen’s masterpiece. Ruth Wilson (Luther, The Affair, Jane Eyre) plays the title role in a new version by Patrick Marber (Notes on a Scandal, Closer). TWELFTH NIGHT - National Theatre Live April 6, 2017 (Live) and May 20, 2017 Directed by Simon Godwin; Starring Tamsin Greig Olivier award winner Tamsin Greig (Episodes) is Malvolia in a new twist on Shakespeare’s classic comedy of mistaken identity. A ship is wrecked on the rocks. Viola is washed ashore but her twin brother, Sebastian, is lost. Determined to survive on her own, she steps out to explore a new land. So begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love. The nearby households of Olivia and Orsino are overrun with passion. Even Olivia's upright housekeeper Malvolia is swept up in the madness. Where music is the food of love, and nobody is quite what they seem, anything proves possible. ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD - National Theatre Live from The Old Vic April 20, 2017 (Live), and May 27, 2017 Directed by David Leveaux; Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Joshua McGuire, David Haig Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, Equus), Joshua McGuire (The Hour) and David Haig (Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Witness for the Prosecution) star in Tom Stoppard’s brilliantly funny situation comedy, broadcast live from The Old Vic theatre in London. David Leveaux’s new production marks the 50th anniversary of the play that made a young Tom Stoppard famous overnight. Set against the backdrop of Hamlet, two hapless minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, take centre stage. As the young double act stumble their way in and out of the action of Shakespeare’s iconic drama, they become increasingly out of their depth as their version of the story unfolds. LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST - Stratford Festival April 29, 2017 (Captured live) Directed by John Caird; Starring Ruby Joy, Mike Shara Shakespeare’s most poetic love story, Love’s Labour’s Lost comes to life in this Stratford Festival production, helmed by Tony and Olivier award-winning director John Caird. A coming-of-age story unlike any other, it dwells sweetly on the naiveté of youth while leading its protagonists to understand the true meaning – and cost – of love. This ‘sublime’ (The Toronto Star) ‘masterpiece’ (National Post) was called ‘the most vibrant production of the play I’ve ever seen’ (AM New York). OBSESSION - National Theatre Live from the Barbican May 11, 2017 (Live) and June 24, 2017 Directed by Ivo van Hove; Starring Jude Law Based on Luchino Visconti’s 1943 film Obsession tells the story of Gino (Jude Law – The Talented Mr. Ripley, Hamlet), a strikingly handsome but down-at-heel drifter and Giovanna, a young woman trapped in her marriage. At a roadside restaurant, Gino encounters Giovanna and her husband, Giuseppe. Irresistibly attracted to each other, Gino and Giovanna begin a fiery affair and plot to murder her husband. But, in this chilling tale of passion and destruction, the crime only serves to tear them apart. WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? - National Theatre Live from the Harold Pinter Theatre May 18, 2017 (Captured live) Directed by James Macdonald ; Starring Imelda Staunton, Conleth Hill, Luke Treadaway, Imogen Poots Sonia Friedman Productions present Imelda Staunton (Gypsy, Vera Drake, the Harry Potter films) and Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones, The Producers) along with Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, The Hollow Crown) and Imogen Poots (A Long Way Down, Jane Eyre) in James Macdonald’s critically acclaimed, 5-star production of Edward Albee’s landmark play, broadcast live to cinemas from the Harold Pinter Theatre, London. In the early hours of the morning on the campus of an American college, Martha, much to her husband George’s displeasure, has invited the new professor and his wife to their home for some after-party drinks. As the alcohol flows and dawn approaches, the young couple are drawn into George and Martha’s toxic games until the evening reaches its climax in a moment of devastating truth-telling. PETER PAN - National Theatre Live June 10, 11 & 29, 2017 (Captured live) Directed by Sally Cookson; Starring Paul Hilton, Anna Francolini All children grow up, except for one! A delight for children and adults alike, Sally Cookson (NT Live: Jane Eyre) directs this wondrously inventive production of JM Barrie’s much-loved tale, a co- production with Bristol Old Vic theatre. When Peter Pan, leader of the Lost Boys, loses his shadow, headstrong Wendy helps him to reattach it. In return, she is invited to Neverland, where Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily and the vengeful Captain Hook await. A riot of magic, music and make-believe ensues. SALOMÉ - National Theatre Live June 22, 2017 (Live) and July 15, 2017 Directed by Yaël Farber; Starring Isaballa Niloufar The story has been told before, but never like this. An occupied desert nation. A radical from the wilderness on hunger strike. A girl whose mysterious dance will change the course of the world. This charged retelling turns the infamous biblical tale on its head, placing the girl we call Salomé at the centre of a revolution. Internationally acclaimed theatre director Yaël Farber (Les Blancs) draws on multiple accounts to create her urgent, hypnotic production. ANGELS IN AMERICA - National Theatre Live Part 1: July 20, 2017 (Live) and August 5, 2017 Part 2: July 27, 2017 (Live) and August 12, 2017 Directed by Marianne Elliott; Starring Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, Denise Gough and Russell Tovey Set in the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration of the mid-1980s, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. Andrew Garfield (Spider-man, Hacksaw Ridge) plays Prior Walter along with a cast including Denise Gough (People, Places and Things), Nathan Lane (The Producers), James McArdle (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Russell Tovey (The Pass). This new staging of Tony Kushner’s multi-award winning two-part play is directed by Tony Olivier and award winning director Marianne Elliott (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and War Horse). YERMA - National Theatre Live from The Young Vic September 21 & 23, 2017 (Captured live) Directed by Simon Stone; Starring Billie Piper A young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child in Simon Stone’s radical production of Lorca’s achingly powerful masterpiece. The can’t-miss theatre phenomenon is sold out at the Young Vic and critics are calling it ‘an extraordinary theatrical triumph’ (The Times) and ‘stunning, searing, unmissable’ (Mail on Sunday). Billie Piper’s (Penny Dreadful, Dr. Who) lead performance is described as ‘spellbinding’ (The Evening Standard), ‘astonishing’ (iNews) and ‘devastatingly powerful’ (The Daily Telegraph).

The United States has followed California’s lead by massively expanding its penal system and radically dismantling its welfare system. The country currently incarcerates not only more people, but also a greater percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. During this same period, increasing numbers of artists have intervened in the spaces between the U.S. prison and welfare systems. San Francisco has served as a crucible for these endeavors, which constitute a defining feature of the emerging field of community-based performance.

  • PETER PAN Or the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up
    PRESS RELEASE NORTH HIGH SCHOOL to present PETER PAN or The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up The Appleton North High School Theatre Department will present the play PETER PAN or The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up on May 16th through the 19th in the North High School Auditorium, 5000 North Ballard Road. This new version adapted from the original J.M. Barrie play and novel by Trevor Nunn and John Caird for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of London enjoyed phenomenal success when first produced. The famous team known for their productions of THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHOLAS NICKLEBY and the musical LES MISERABLES have painstakingly researched and restored Barrie’s original play. “. .a national masterpiece.”—London Times. This is the beloved story of Peter, Wendy, Michael, John, Capt. Hook, Smee, the lost boys, pirates, and the Indians, and of course, Tinker Bell, in their adventures in Never Land. However, for the first time, the play is here restored to Barrie’s original intentions. In the words of adaptor, John Caird: “ We were fascinated to discover that there was no one single document called PETER PAN. What we found was a tantalizing number of different versions, all of them containing some very agreeable surprises….We have made some significant alterations, the greatest of which is the introduction of a new character, the Storyteller, who is in fact the author himself.” North’s theatre director, Ron Parker, states, “This is a very different PETER PAN than the one most people are familiar with. It is neither the popular musical version nor the Disney animated recreation, but goes back to Barrie’s original play and novel.

By studying its dramatic landscapes and probing into their multi-sensory manifestations in line with Symbolist theory and aesthetics , I argue that Pinter’s theatre articulates an ecocritical stance and a micropolitical critique.
