'People' The new play by Alan Bennett Thursday 21st March 7:00pm (Doors open 6:30pm) Award-winning writer Alan Bennett is reunited with director Nicholas Hytner and Olivier Award-winning actress Frances de la Tour, with whom he worked on The History Boys and The Habit of Art. People spoil things; there are so many of them and the last thing one wants is them traipsing through one's house. But with the park a jungle and a bath on the billiard table, what is one to do? Dorothy (Frances de la Tour) wonders if an attic sale could be a solution. Alan Bennett is one of Britain's most celebrated playwrights, and the much anticipated People is the sixth of his plays to have its premiere at the National Theatre. Tickets for this live broadcast have almost sold out. 'This House' a new play by James Graham Encore screening Monday 27th May 7:00pm (Doors open 6:30pm) It's 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain's political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one, fist fights erupt in the bars, and ill MPs are hauled in to cast their votes. It's a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and age-old traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle for power. James Graham's biting, energetic and critically-acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments. Please note Due to the Attfield Theatre company's own production of 'Two' taking place in May this will be a recorded screening taken from the live performance on 16th May and we will be showing it on 27th May. The Audience Thursday 13th June 7:00pm (Doors open 6:30pm) 'The Audience is going to be one of the theatrical highlights of 2013.' Daily Mail   Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live. For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. From young mother to grandmother, these private audiences chart the arc of the second Elizabethan Age. Politicians come and go through the revolving door of electoral politics, while she remains constant, waiting to welcome her next Prime Minister.   The Audience reunites writer Peter Morgan and Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren following their collaboration on the critically-acclaimed movie sensation The Queen. The Audience is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours) and presented in the West End by Matthew Byam Shaw for Playful Productions, Robert Fox and Andy Harries. Ticket sales for this live broadcast opened on 1st March and we advise early booking to avoid disappointment. Our regular Saturday night screenings in March continue with 'Lincoln' and 'Django Unchained'. Lincoln (12A) Saturday 23rd March 7:30pm Daniel Day Lewis made film history last week winning his 3rd Academy Award® for Best Actor with his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President's tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come. "Steven Spielberg has crafted a literate, heartfelt film about Abraham Lincoln's second term in office and his battle to end slavery, with a masterful central performance." ***** Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian Django Unchained (18) Saturday 30th March 7:30pm Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Vengeance … Tarantino is back with a brilliant and brutal revenge Western. Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django is a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive. "Quentin Tarantino's brilliant and brutal revenge western is a wildly exciting return to form."  ***** Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian "Django Unchained certainly places Tarantino among the most impressive film-makers at work today."
