SUMMARY:The Tragedy of King Richard the Second
DESCRIPTION:Simon Russell Beale plays William Shakespeare’s Richard II\, broadcast live from the stage of the Almeida Theatre in London. This visceral new production about the limits of power will be directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins\, whose previous plays include Little Revolution at the Almeida and Absolute Hell at the National Theatre. \nRichard II\, King of England\, is irresponsible\, foolish and vain. His weak leadership sends his kingdom into disarray and his court into uproar. Seeing no other option but to seize power\, the ambitious Bolingbroke challenges the throne and the king’s divine right to rule. Simon Russell Beale returns to National Theatre Live screens following broadcasts of Timon of Athens and King Lear\, and his recent role in the National Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of The Lehman Trilogy.

SUMMARY:The Madness of George III

With the King’s mind unravelling at a dramatic pace\, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown\, and expose the fine line between a King and a man. \nShow image photograph (Mark Gatiss) by Creative by Wren

SUMMARY:King Lear
DESCRIPTION:By William Shakespeare \n★★★★★ ‘Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production.’ (Daily Telegraph) \nBroadcast live from London’s West End\, see Ian McKellen’s ‘extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (Independent) of King Lear in cinemas. \nChichester Festival Theatre’s production received five-star reviews for its sell-out run\, and transfers to the West End for a limited season.  Jonathan Munby directs this ‘nuanced and powerful’ (The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender\, violent\, moving and shocking play. \nConsidered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written\, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King\, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them.  Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery\, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends. \nShow image photograph (Ian McKellen) by Andy Gotts

SUMMARY:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
DESCRIPTION:Based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Haddon\, adapted by Simon Stephens \n‘A phenomenal combination of storytelling and spectacle’ (The Times) \n‘Dazzlingly inventive’ (Evening Standard) \nThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time returns to selected international cinemas in 2018. \nCaptured live from the National Theatre in London\, this critically acclaimed production directed by Marianne Elliot (Angels in America\, War Horse) has astonished audiences around the world and has received seven Olivier and five Tony Awards®. Christopher\, fifteen years old\, stands beside Mrs Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork\, it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an extraordinary brain\, exceptional at math while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road\, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. But his detective work\, forbidden by his father\, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world. \nProduction photography by Manuel Harlan
