Through CCP National Theatre Live, the premier arts and culture institution provides yet another exceptional “live” performance experience to expand the cultural palettes of its audiences, while making international theater accessible to theater enthusiasts, playwrights, artists, and the broader public.
The CCP partnered with National Theatre Live and the Ayala Malls Cinema to launch the first season, which runs from Sept. 26, 2023 to May 28, 2024, exclusively at Greenbelt cinemas.For the first season, the lineup features Life of Pi, Frankenstein, The Seagull, Much Ado About Nothing, The Crucible, Fleabag, Othello, King Lear, and Hamlet, all digitally filmed in high-definition quality.
Captured live on stage in 2011, the sold-out production stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Filmed live in London’s West End, The Seagull will premiere on Nov. 28. Following his critically acclaimed five-star production of Cyrano de Bergerac, Jamie Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s classic play to stage, with Emilia Clarke making her West End debut through The Seagull.
The CCP National Theatre Live welcomes the new year with Arthur Miller’s The Crucible on Jan. 24, 2024. The play tells a captivating parable of power with a witch hunt. Directed by Lyndsey Turner, this story is about a group of young women in Salem who suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial.
