... a whopping good time. The message here is a simple one-- an evil is being done to the natural wonders of the world, namely the rain forests -- and it's dealt with in simplistic, kiddie terms. All that's needed is a little magic and faith in the miracles of creation. --Hal Hinson, Washington Post

National Theatre from London Live via Satellite Thurs., April 22, 2010, 6:30pm Sat, April 24, 2010, 1pm Encore Presentation
A new play by Alan Bennett (History Boys, Madness of King George III) Directed by Nicholas Hytner
This premiere may well be the biggest London show of 2009-10. The play deals with the relationship of the poet W H Auden and the composer Benjamin Britten. Richard Griffiths is set to play Auden whilst Alex Jennings will play Britten. This is the story of an imagined meeting of Auden and Britten in the 1960s towards the end of their lives. The two had worked together on the documentary ‘Night Mail’ and the operetta ‘Paul Bunyan’ but fell out with each other in the 1940s. This play is expected to emulate the huge success of past Bennett premieres at the National.
Tickets: $30 Reserved Seats Students 17 and under $24
