On the 13th of June, two Prague cinemas - Světozor and Aero - allowed to experience the live broadcast of a show that was performed on the stage of The National Theatre in London.
The Audience is the new play of Peter Morgan; it is playfully and wittily written and was brilliantly performed. Helen Mirren starred in the main role and we, young actresses, could only sigh and say to ourselves: Will I ever be able to perform like that? The director Stephen Daldry skillfully worked with tempo-rhythm and although the play may have seemed too conversational and not much dynamical, the audience was held in permanent attention from the beginning to the very end. During the broadcast, both English and Czech subtitles were provided.
The project of live broadcasting was launched in June 2009 and the shows can be experienced in more then 500 places around the world. The next one is going to be of Shakespeare’s Othello on the 26th of September, so do not hesitate and go see it! Yes, this is a shameless propaganda, but the project is really worth it.
