NORTH FORK & HAMPTONS EVENT CALENDAR

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.

The 2024 series will conclude on Friday, December 20 at 7 PM with Present Laughter, the multi award-winning production of Noël Coward’s provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott of Fleabag and All of Us Strangers. Filmed live from The Old Vic in London during a sold out run in 2019, Matthew Warchus (Matilda the Musical) directs this giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

The Telegraph affirmed “Andrew Scott’s revelatory performance shows why Noël Coward is hailed a genius.” In addition to Scott, the cast includes Monica Reed, Liz Essedine, Kitty Archer, and Enzo Cilenti.

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.
