Helen McCrory (The Last of the Haussmans) returns to the National Theatre to take the title role in a new version of Medea by Ben Power, directed by Carrie Cracknell. Medea is a wife and a mother. For the sake of her husband, Jason, she’s left her home and borne two sons in exile. But when he abandons his family for a new life, Medea faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs for one day’s grace. It’s time enough. She exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear.
So bring a friend and share the experience of seeing the world’s finest theater featuring an actress that The Telegraph’s Charles Spencer said “gives the performance of her career” – Helen McCrory as the title character in NT Live’s HD presentation of Medea on screen at The Grand.
The Grand is proud to be presenting NT Live, a series of high definition simulcasts and encore performances from The National Theatre of London, which includes the fastest-selling production in the Young Vic’s history, Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece A Streetcar Named Desire – starring Gillian Anderson (The X-Files, The Fall) as Blanche DuBois, Ben Foster (Lone Survivor, Kill Your Darlings) as Stanley, and Vanessa Kirby (About Time, BBC’s Great Expectations) as Stella – broadcast live from London at 2 pm on Thursday, September 16th, as part of its commitment to presenting theater in all of its forms.
