The Music Box Theatre continues its partnership with the UK's National Theatre Live to exhibit live stage performances beamed to Chicago from the prestigious National Theatre in London.

The duo behind the Tony Award-winning The History Boys - writer Alan Bennett and director Nicholas Hytner - reteams for People, starring Olivier Award-winning actress Frances de la Tour as the once-wealthy owner of a crumbling country estate facing an uncertain future. The Chicago screenings take place Tuesday, April 23, 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 28, 2 p.m. at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 North Southport Avenue.
