Ster-Kinekor Cinema Nouveau is currently running the popular
annual National Theatre Live series,
bringing the magic of live theatre to the big screen.
Founded in 1963 and established on the South Bank of the
River Thames in London in 1976, The National Theatre has three theatres – the
Olivier, the Lyttelton and the Cottesloe. It presents an eclectic mix of new
plays and classics, with seven or eight productions in repertory (sharing the
stages) at any one time. Actors often appear in more than one play during a
season or return to the National regularly.
The National aims constantly to re-energise the great
traditions of the British stage and to expand the horizons of audiences and
artists alike, and aspires to reflect in its repertoire the diversity of the
nation’s culture. With its extensive programme of Platform performances,
backstage tours, foyer music, exhibitions, and free outdoor entertainment the
National recognises that the theatre doesn’t begin and end with the rise and
fall of the curtain. By touring – and now, National
Theatre Live - it shares its work with audiences in the UK and abroad.
NT Live events are distributed outside the U.K.
through New York-based BY Experience, Inc, the pioneer of global live
“alternative content” digital cinema events. For more information visit www.byexperience.net
Next on the National
Theatre Live schedule at Cinema Nouveau is The Magistrate, staring John Lithgow and releasing on February 23, 2013.
Two additional plays to be screened in 2013 include People and This House.
This is an opportunity to see some of the world’s most
popular theatre plays, all in the comfort of your favourite Cinema Nouveau
theatre. National Theatre Live screens at Cinema Nouveau theatres in Gateway,
Cavendish, V&A, Rosebank and Brooklyn.
