Amphibian Stage Productions Screens EVERYMAN with Chiwetel Ejiofor Today
Amphibian Stage Productions (Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director) will show a film of the National Theatre of London's production of Everyman, adapted by Carol Duffy and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, today, August 19 at 2pm and 7pm in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. This will be the eighth National Theatre Live screening 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. About the PlayBAFTA winner and Academy Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama?s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre?s new Director Rufus Norris (Broken, London Road).
Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defense. But Death is close behind, and time is running out.
One of the great primal, spiritual myths,?Everyman?asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and movement by Javier De Frutos.
Everyman will screen on Wednesday, August 19 at 2pm and 7pm at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Tickets to National Theatre Live broadcasts 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. To purchase tickets, theatergoers may call 817-923-3012, write to boxoffice@amphibianstage.com, or visit www.amphibianstage.com.
