NT Live screening of Sam Mendes' play 'The Motive and The Cue', starring Mark Gatiss and Johnny Flynn.
Storyhouse Cinema is bringing The Motive and The Cue to Chester on Thursday 18 February as part of the NT Live season. It's a National Theatre production directed by Sam Mendes, and this is the cinema screening of the stage play, so you'll be watching a recorded performance on the big screen rather than a live cast on stage.
The play stars Mark Gatiss, Johnny Flynn and Tuppence Middleton. It's a piece of theatre that’s had its run in London, and NT Live is the way it reaches cinemas across the country, bringing the stage performance to audiences who can't make it to the West End. If you're a fan of any of the three leads, this is a good chance to see them together in one production.
For those who aren't familiar with how it works, NT Live takes a professional stage production and broadcasts it into cinemas, so you get the full play from start to finish, with the camera work capturing the action on stage. It's a way of seeing a National Theatre show without having to travel to London, and watching it in a cinema means you're seeing the same performance as everyone else in the room.
