From April 5 through 7, 2013, 1:00 p.m.
The new season of the National Theatre Live continues with the dramedy People by Award-winning writer Alan Bennett who reunited with director Nicholas Hytner and Olivier Award-winning actress Frances de la Tour (The History Boys and The Habit of Art). The critically acclaimed People will be presented on Friday through Sunday, April 5 through April 7, at 1:00 pm at the Coral Gables Art Cinema in stunning 2K Digital Cinema Projection. This unique and groundbreaking program, for which we are the exclusive Miami venue, brings the best of British theater direct from the stage to South Florida. Each performance will be captured live and presented in digital high-definition projection providing audiences an extraordinary close-up view of the world-class productions that take center stage at the National Theatre of London.
People spoil things; there are so many of them and the last thing one wants is them traipsing through one’s house. But with the park a jungle and a bath on the billiard table, what is one to do? Dorothy (played by Frances de la Tour) wonders if an attic sale could be a solution. Alan Bennett is one of Britain’s most celebrated playwrights, and the much anticipated People is the sixth of his plays to have its premiere at The National Theatre. Following its original run at The National Theatre, The History Boys transferred to Broadway, winning the Tony Award for Best Play in 2006, and toured internationally before being turned into a film, again directed by Nicholas Hytner and with a cast including Frances de la Tour. The run time is 2 hours and 38 minutes with an intermission. The Daily Telegraph says “Provocative fun… entertaining, funny and touching.”
