Sir Anthony Absolute
July 1940. After an aerial dog fight, Pilot Officer Jack Absolute flies home to win the heart of his old flame, Lydia Languish. Back on British soil, Jack’s advances soon turn to anarchy when the young heiress demands to be loved on her own, very particular, terms.

Judy: Por Trás do Arco-Iris
Richardson
Inverno de 1968. Com a carreira em baixa, Judy Garland (Renée Zellweger) aceita estrelar uma turnê em Londres, por mais que tal trabalho a mantenha afastada dos filhos menores. Ao chegar ela enfrenta a solidão e os conhecidos problemas com álcool e remédios, compensando o que deu errado em sua vida pessoal com a dedicação no palco.
National Theatre Live: Allelujah!
Salter
Alan Bennett’s sharp and hilarious new play is ‘just what the doctor ordered’ (Daily Telegraph). Filmed live at London’s Bridge Theatre during its limited run, don’t miss this acclaimed production full of ‘singalongs and stinging wit’ (Guardian). The Beth, an old fashioned cradle-to-grave hospital serving a town in Yorkshire, is threatened with closure as part of an efficiency drive. A documentary crew, eager to capture its fight for survival, follows the daily struggle to find beds on the Dusty Springfield Geriatric Ward, and the triumphs of the old people’s choir. One of Britain’s most celebrated writers, Alan Bennett’s plays include The History Boys, The Lady in the Van and The Madness of George III, all of which were also seen on film. Allelujah! is his tenth collaboration with award-winning director Nicholas Hytner.
