Of Mice and Men
by John Stienbeck
Golden
Globe® winner and Academy Award® nominee James Franco(127 Hours, Milk)
and Tony Award® nominee Chris O’Dowd(Bridesmaids, Girls)
star in the hit Broadway production Of Mice And Men,
filmed on stage by National Theatre Live. This landmark revival of Nobel Prize
winner John Steinbeck's play is a powerful portrait of the American spirit and
a heartbreaking testament to the bonds of friendship.
Of Mice and Men is directed by Tony Award®, Drama Desk and Outer
Critics Circles award winner Anna D. Shapiro (Broadway’s August:
Osage County) and features Leighton
Meester (Country Strong, Gossip
Girl) and Tony Award® winner Jim Norton (The
Seafarer). The production was nominated for two Tony Awards®,
including Best Performance by an Actor in a
Leading Role in a
Play for Chris O'Dowd.
11th March
Barilla 20.30
Campus 20.30
London’s National Gallery, one of the world’s foremost art
institutions, is itself portrayed as a brilliant work of art in this, Frederick Wiseman’s 39th documentary and counting. Wiseman listens raptly as a panoply of docents decode the great canvases of Da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Turner; he visits with the museum’s restorers as they use magnifying glasses, tiny eye-droppers, scalpels, and Q-tips to repair an infinitesimal chip; he attends administrative meetings in which senior executives do (polite) battle with younger ones who want the museum to become less stodgy and more welcoming to a larger cross-section of the public. But most of all, we experience the joy of spending time with the aforementioned masters as well as Vermeer and Caravaggio, Titian and Velázquez, Pissarro and Rubens, and listen to the connoisseurs who discourse upon the aesthetic, historical, religious and psychological underpinnings of these masterpieces.
