“National Theatre Live” is jointly staged by the National Theatre of China and the Royal National Theater. The program brings top productions from the stages of London and New York to Beijing and UCCA via high-definition screenings. This August, UCCA and Beijing’s ATW Culture Media Co., Ltd. will be premiering the National Theater Live screenings of Richard III and Romeo and Juliet. Richard III and Romeo and Juliet are productions by the acclaimed Almeida Theatre and Branagh Theatre respectively. Both are performances of classics that have weathered the centuries, the former a historical tale of court rivalries and struggle for power, and the other a tragic love story. The use of slide rails, close-ups, and other features offers audiences a detailed audiovisual experience that heightens the unique charms of the theater, and affords every audience member who enters the UCCA auditorium the best vantage points from whence to view each production. The performance is in English with Chinese subtitles.
