Utopia SA has announced that, in addition to the previous transmissions already announced for the National Theatre Live in London, two additional productions will be transmitted live for screening at Ciné-Utopia in Luxembourg-Limpertsberg.
The two additional dates are:
- Tuesday 8 December 2015 at 20:00: Jane Eyre: Almost 170 years on, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms. From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart. This acclaimed re-imagining of Brontë's masterpiece was first staged by Bristol Old Vic last year, when the story was performed over two evenings. Director Sally Cookson now brings her celebrated production to the National, presented as a single, exhilarating performance. Ciné Utopia only.
- Thursday 25 February 2016 at 20:00: As You Like It: Shakespeare’s glorious comedy of love and change comes to the National Theatre for the first time in over 30 years, with Rosalie Craig (London Road, Macbeth at MIF) as Rosalind. With her father the Duke banished and in exile, Rosalind and her cousin Celia leave their lives in the court behind them and journey into the Forest of Arden. There, released from convention, Rosalind experiences the liberating rush of transformation. Disguising herself as a boy, she embraces a different way of living and falls spectacularly in love. Ciné Utopia only.
Tickets cost €20 (€15 reduced) from www.utopolis.lu.
