London's South Bank will be brought to Stafford Gatehouse Theatre next month – as all-star cast features in the live screening of a sell-out show.

Angels In America

Hollywood star and Oscar-nominated actor, Andrew Garfield, will lead an all-star cast in the two-part National Theatre Live screening of Angles in America.

It tells the story of America in the mid-1980s – in the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell.

Andrew Garfield (Silence, Hacksaw Ridge) plays Prior Walter along with a cast including Denise Gough (People, Places and Things), Nathan Lane (The Producers), James McArdle (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Russell Tovey (The Pass).

This new staging of Tony Kushner’s multi-award winning two-part play is directed by Olivier and Tony award winning director Marianne Elliott (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and War Horse).

Part one of the drama, Millenium Approaches, will be screened a week prior to part two Perestroika.

Both shows have proved hugely popular with audiences and critics alike, and with tickets now completely sold out for its run at the National Theatre, the only way to see it is via live screening next month.

The National Theatre Live screenings of Angles in America Part One: Millennium Approaches will take place at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre on July 20 at 7pm, and Part Two: Perestroika on Thursday July 27 at 7pm.

Tickets are priced at £13, with a £10.50 concession price, per screening and are available from the Box Office on 01785 619080 or online via www.staffordgatehousetheatre.co.uk
