Lord Capulet
An adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy set in modern-day Italy where two young lovers strive to transcend a violent world where Catholic and secular values clash.
Fool
Considered 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.
Babb
A família Ayres, que vive numa grande mansão na Inglaterra no período pós-guerra, chama o Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson), um respeitado médico da região, para atendê-los em casa. No entanto, o médico acaba descobrindo grandes segredos da família que não deveriam ter sido revelados.
The story has been told before, but never like this. An occupied desert nation. A radical from the wilderness on hunger strike. A girl whose mysterious dance will change the course of the world. This charged retelling turns the infamous biblical tale on its head, placing the girl we call Salomé at the centre of a revolution. Internationally acclaimed theatre director Yaël Farber (Les Blancs) draws on multiple accounts to create her urgent, hypnotic production on the stage of the National Theatre. ‘Epic. A near-perfect production.’ Guardian (on Les Blancs)
Boniface
The ‘Beaux’: Mr Aimwell and Mr Archer, two charming, dissolute young men who have blown their fortunes in giddy London. Shamed and debt-ridden, they flee to provincial Lichfield. Their ‘Stratagem’: to marry for money. Lodged at the local inn, posing as master and servant, they encounter a teeming variety of human obstacles: a crooked landlord, a fearsome highwayman, a fervent French Count, a maid on the make, a drunken husband, a furious butler, a natural healer and a strange, turbulent priest. But their greatest obstacle is love. When the Beaux meet their match in Dorinda and Mrs Sullen they are most at risk, for in love they might be truly discovered.
Richard Burbage
Cultuado como um dos maiores dramaturgos da Era Elisabetana, a vida de William Shakespeare tem sido objeto de estudos de acadêmicos há anos. Uma popular teoria especula que as peças teatrais atribuídas ao dramaturgo não foram escritas por ele.
In June 2009, a group Britain's leading actors gathered for one night only to perform a celebration of the work of Harold Pinter at the National Theatre, directed by Ian Rickson. The team who made the acclaimed Harold Pinter documentaries for BBC's Arena was there to record this unique performance.
Landlord
A young boy watches a fight in a crowded bar: a masked man versus the people’s champ. But rather than boxing, this is an adult, brutal version of ‘Slaps’ – slaps that can break a man’s hand. Three years ago, James’ alcoholic father Michael left him and his mother, but promised he’d be back to make them proud – now, James believes the man in the mask is his father, returning as a hero, but things are not what they seem...
Harry
Eccentric 70-year-old widow purchases the Windmill Theatre in London as a post-widowhood hobby. After starting an innovative continuous variety review, which is copied by other theaters, they begin to lose money. Mrs. Henderson suggests they add female nudity similar to the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
Pictish Man
Trata-se de uma grande gozação com o hábito e o costume guerreiro dos povos antigos ao contar a história de três irmãs que se odeiam, mas que acabam ficando juntas para combater os romanos que estão invadindo a Britânia, habitada pelos celtas. Como um exército Brancaleone feminino eles partem para a luta de forma desajeitada. Mais correndo do que batendo.
VIctor
2001 theatre production of Harold Pinter's one-act play considered his "statement about the human rights abuses of totalitarian governments."
