Little Art Theatre presents National Theatre Live
What is it? How does it work?

National Theatre Live is an exciting initiative to broadcast live performances of the best of British theatre to cinemas in the UK around the world. We are fortunate to be a part of these screenings right here at our Little Art Theatre.

Recent screenings have included King Lear with Simon Russell Beale, The Donmar Warehouse production of Coriolanus, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time based on the best-selling novel by Mark Haddon.

The National Theatre is dedicated to the constant revitalization of the great traditions of the British stage and to expanding the horizons of audiences and artists alike. In its three theatres on the South Bank in London, it presents an eclectic mix of new plays and classics from the world repertoire with seven or eight productions in repertory at any one time.

Medea = Saturday, September 27, 2 p.m.
Medea = Wednesday, October 1, 7 p.m.

On Medea: “…this horribly gripping, scrupulously judicious modern-dress production in which Helen McCrory gives a performance of scorching emotional power and searching psychological acuity.

“This is, incredibly, the first ever staging of Medea in the National Theatre’s 50 year history. It’s an omission all the more remarkable, given the complex feminist issues raised by Euripides’ unsparing portrayal of a dumped woman driven to exacting revenge on her treacherous partner by the ultimate (and tragically self-defeating) recourse of murdering their children.

“Medea is a wife and a mother. For the sake of her husband, Jason, she’s left her home and borne two sons in exile. But when he abandons his family for a new life, Medea faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs for one day’s grace. It’s time enough. She exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear.”
