Amphibian Stage Productions to Screen BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL FOREVERS at the Modern, 5/20
Amphibian Stage Productions will show a film of the National Theatre of London's production of "Behind The Beautiful Forevers" on Wednesday May 20 at 2pm and 7pm in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. This will be the fifth National Theatre Live showing of Amphibian's 2015 season.
Distributed internationally by BY Experience, National Theatre Live is an initiative to broadcast live performances from the National Theatre's stages to cinemas worldwide. In Fort Worth, the screenings are presented exclusively at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, courtesy of Amphibian Stage Productions. Fort Worth screenings of National Theatre Live began in the fall of 2011.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo spent three years in Annawadi recording the lives of its residents. From her uncompromising book, winner of the National Book Award for Non-Fiction 2012, David Hare has fashioned a tumultuous play on an epic scale.
India is surging with global ambition. But beyond the luxury hotels surrounding Mumbai airport lies a makeshift slum, full of people with plans of their own. Zehrunisa and her son Abdul aim to recycle enough rubbish to fund a proper house. Sunil, twelve and stunted, wants to eat until he's as tall as Kalu the thief. Asha seeks to steal government anti-poverty funds to turn herself into a 'first-class person', while her daughter Manju intends to become the slum's first female graduate. But their schemes are fragile; global recession threatens the garbage trade, and another slum-dweller is about to make an accusation that will destroy herself and shatter the neighborhood.
Behind the Beautiful Forevers will screen on Wednesday, May 20 at 2pm and 7pm at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Tickets to National Theatre Live screenings are $20 for adults, $17 for seniors, and $12 for students. Members of Amphibian Stage Productions and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth receive an additional $5 discount.
