This autumn the National Theatre will stage the world-premiere of Network, Lee Hall's new adaptation of the Oscar-winning film by Paddy Chayefsky.
Directed by Ivo van Hove, Tony Award winner Bryan Cranston plays Howard Beale and announced today is Michelle Dockery as Diana Christenson.
'Everybody wants passion,' says Ivo van Hove in the programme interview for his latest show, but in both tone and aesthetic, his take on this doomed romance is less red-hot fire of ardour, more the cold, grey ash left in the wake of a consuming flame. It's intermittently beautiful and thoughtful, but lacks the necessary fervour that binds lover to lover, and audience to material.
Acclaimed theatre director Ivo van Hove stopped by WNYC's The Leonard Lopate Show today to talk about KINGS OF WAR, playing this weekend at Brooklyn Academy of Music. Click below to listen to the full interview, in which he discusses Shakespeare, improvisation, and bringing the Bard to a modern audience!
