National Theater Live At Guild Hall
In addition to the highly anticipated return of THE MET: Live in HD on October 5, Guild Hall (158 Main Street, East Hampton) is thrilled to announce they will once again present selections from the National Theater Live (NTL). The 2024 season will feature the best of British theater and will include three performances of some of NTL’s most popular broadcasts, Hamlet, Prima Facie, and Present Laughter. For over 15 years, National Theater Live has filmed unmissable theatre live from Britain’s most exciting stages to screen in thousands of cinemas around the globe. Their productions have been seen by an audience of over 12 million people, and are captured with state-of-the-art techniques, tailored to every play.
On Friday, November 15 at 7 PM, Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play, Prima Facie will be screened, featuring a Tony Award-winning performance by Jodie Comer, best known for her role in Killing Eve. The play was entirely sold out during its nine-week run in the West End at the Harold Pinter Theater before moving to Broadway in 2023 and proved hugely popular with audiences during its NTL original release in 2022. The Evening Standard called it “An extraordinarily gutsy and rich performance by Jodie Comer.”
Tickets for all screenings are $20 ($18 for members) and may be purchased online at guildhall.org. Louise & Howie’s Coffee Bar will be open before and during the program for refreshments, which are permitted in the theater.
