20:00 | Theatre HD. La Comédie Française: Romeo and Juliet |
|
|
|
|
Theatre production. France 2016, 165 min. Directed by Éric Ruf. In French with Russian subtitles. A play by William Shakespeare. La Comédie Française production. In Verona, an old rivarly opposes the Capulet and Montaigu families. When Romeo Montaigu and Juliet Capulet fall for each other, they know their love will be eternal. However they already sense its tragic ending... Without a doubt, Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare’s most famous play and yet… while most common stagings focus on a universal tale of love and hate, there is in Shakespeare’s text something much darker and much more complex, making the romance only seem like a backdrop. “There’s a black sun in this story, and this is what we ought to look into”, according to director Éric Ruf. Shakespeare’s classic (in French!) in translation by François-Victor Hugo, son of Victor Hugo. Costumes by Christian Lacroix, inspired from the 30s and 40s. One of the main names of today’s French theatre scene, Éric Ruf has been appointed managing director of the Comédie-Française in 2014. Éric Ruf has played everything at the Salle Richelieu before staging his own creations there, including Romeo and Juliet. Awarded Molières for best supporting role and best scenography in 2007.

Theatre production. Great Britain 2015, 175 min. Directed by Josie Rourke. A Donmar Warehouse Production. A Christopher Hampton Play based on the novel by Choderlos de Laclos. Starring: Elaine Cassidy, Dominic West, Una Stubbs, Janet McTeer. In English with Russian subtitles. In 1782, Choderlos de Laclos’ novel of sex, intrigue and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalised the world. Two hundred years later, Christopher Hampton's irresistible adaptation swept the board, winning the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Play. For LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES’ thirty year revival, Josie Rourke has drawn together a stellar cast. Elaine Cassidy will play Madame de Tourvel, Janet McTeer will play the Marquise de Merteuil and Dominic West will play the Vicomte de Valmont. Former lovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont now compete in games of seduction and revenge. Merteuil incites Valmont to corrupt the innocent Cecile de Volanges before her wedding night but Valmont has targeted the peerlessly virtuous and beautiful Madame de Tourvel. While these merciless aristocrats toy with others’ hearts and reputations, their own may prove more fragile than they supposed.
