PETHICK LAWRENCE/SARGEANT
London, 1947. Summoned by the Prime Minister from the Court where he is presiding judge, Cyril Radcliffe is given an unlikely mission. He is to travel to India, a country he has never visited, and, with limited survey information, no expert support and no knowledge of cartography, he is to draw the border which will divide the Indian sub-continent into two new Sovereign Dominions. To make matters even more challenging, he has only six weeks to complete the task. Wholly unsuited to his role, Radcliffe is unprepared for the dangerous whirlpool of political intrigue and passion into which he is plunged – untold consequences may even result from the illicit liaison between the Leader of the Congress Party and the Viceroy’s wife… As he begins to break under the pressure he comes to realise that he holds in his hands the fate of millions of people.

В центре сюжета — ветеран вьетнамской войны Нгуен Нго Мин, убивавший сначала американцев, а затем вьетнамцев. Герой, отсидевший после победы в тюрьме, оказывается в Лондоне, где открывает китайский ресторан в южной части города. В тот момент, когда он думает, что все несчастья и ужасы его семьи позади, дочь погибает в теракте, устроенном истинными IRA. Видя, что власти не слишком рьяно разыскивают террористов, Мин решает самостоятельно разыскать и уничтожить преступников.
Psychiatrist
Шотландский психиатр Р. Д. Лэйнг, возмущенный отношением коллег по цеху к своим пациентам, открывает центр в большом доме в восточном Лондоне, где разрабатывает собственные способы работы с больными: групповая терапия, совместные разговоры, никакого насилия и лекарств (только врачебные дозы ЛСД). Профессиональное сообщество смотрит на доктора так, будто он основал странный и потенциально опасный культ.
The Almeida Theatre makes its live screening debut with an explosive new adaptation of Richard III, directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold with Ralph Fiennes as Shakespeare’s most notorious villain and Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Margaret. War-torn England is reeling after years of bitter conflict. King Edward is ailing, and as political unrest begins to stir once more, Edward’s brother Richard – vicious in war, despised in peacetime – awaits the opportunity to seize his brother’s crown. Through the malevolent Richard, Shakespeare examines the all-consuming nature of the desire for power amid a society riddled by conflict. Olivier-winning director Rupert Goold’s (Macbeth, King Charles III) searing new production hones a microscopic focus on the mythology surrounding a monarch whose machinations are inextricably woven into the fabric of British history.

The heads of Wall Street's biggest investment banks were summoned to an evening meeting by the US Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, to discuss the plight of another - Lehman Brothers. After six months' turmoil in the world's financial markets, Lehman Brothers was on life support and the government was about to pull the plug. Lehman CEO, Dick Fuld, recently sidelined in a boardroom coup, spends the weekend desperately trying to resuscitate his beloved company through a merger with Bank of America or UK-based Barclays. But without the financial support of Paulson and Lehman's fiercest competitors, Fuld's empire - and with it, the stability of the world economy - teeters on the verge of extinction.
