NT Live Presents

All My Sons

by Arthur Miller

directed by Ivo Van Hove

design by Jan Versweyveld

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).  

One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?  

Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

Wednesday 22nd April

The Comic Strip presents…

Making its debut in November 1982 on Channel 4, The Comic Strip Presents is an ongoing project by a group of prominent comedians including Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Alexi Sayle and Peter Richardson, although at the time many of them were just starting out on their careers, since it’s conception it attracted an incredible array of well-known stars and directors creating some forty short films and full length cinema productions and became a legendary success.

       

We are delighted to present a selection of these cult comedy classics that all have a unique connection to Devon and the local areas which were used as locations.

Peter Richardson who starred in and produced many episodes will be in conversation over two special nights with stars from the show.  

On Friday 17th April Peter will be in conversation with Alexei Sayle and they will be sharing stories while we screen:

The Supergrass (1985)

Based on the beloved The Faraway Tree series of novels for children, THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE follows Polly and Tim and their children Beth, Joe and Fran – a modern family who find themselves forced to relocate to the remote English countryside. Soon after their arrival, with no Wi-Fi or electricity to charge their treasured electronic gadgets, the children must develop an interest in the great outdoors. Exploring the natural world around their new home, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents, including cherished characters Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot and Saucepan Man. At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands, and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learn to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.
