UK National Theatre Live

London Assurance National theatre“The NT Live events are designed to bring what we do on the stages of the National to a far greater number of people than we would ever be able to reach otherwise,” says director Nicholas Hytner. “Through high definition broadcasts, we have the technology at our disposal to present our productions beyond the four walls of the National, to reach passionate theatre-goers all over the world, and to do it really well.”

Due to overwhelming demand in the U.K., the National Theatre has decided to add a bonus fifth NT Live event to the 2010 season, the sold-out hit play, London Assurance, which screens  at Palace Nova Eastend on Saturday July 17 & Sunday 18 at 1.00pm.

Dion Boucicault, the Irish genius of London theatre in the age of Dickens, wrote the brilliantly funny London Assurance  in 1841 and thereby created – in Sir Harcourt and Lady Spanker – two of the great comic roles of the English stage, played at the NT by Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw. Directed by NT Artistic Director Nicholas Hytner.

‘5 STARS This is an absolute corker of a production, one that will be talked about and chuckled over with reminiscent affection for years to come…The whole show is a joy from start to finish.’ ‐ DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘5 STARS, London Assurance is the funniest and most assured comedy in all of London…Has the audience positively purring with pleasure. Not to be missed.’ ‐ SUNDAY
