Theatre production. UK 2014, 112 min. Directed by Jonathan Kent. Starring: Cast: Toby Stephens, Anna Chancellor, Anthony Calf, Anna-Louise Plowman, Sue Kelvin. Elyot Chase and Amanda Prynne are glamorous, rich, reckless... and divorced. Five years later, their love for one another is unexpectedly rekindled when they take adjoining suites of a French hotel while honeymooning with their new spouses. This chance encounter instantly reignites their passion, and they fling themselves headlong into a whirlwind of love and lust once more, without a thought for partners present or turbulences past.
This explosive production proves Noël Coward still has the power to thrill, provoke and delight. Described by the critics as "one of the finest productions of the play I have seen... startlingly fresh, funny and unexpectedly moving" (The Daily Telegraph), "you don't want the night to end" (The Sunday Times), "quite possibly the performance of a lifetime for Stephens" (The Independent), "Amanda Prynne is a role Anna Chancellor was born to play" (The Financial Times). Originally a Chichester Festival Theatre production, Private Lives was captured live in London at the Gielgud Theatre, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre, in 2013. In English with Russian subtitles.

A National Theatre production. UK 2015, 120 min. Directed by Nicolas Hytner. Starring: Olivia Vinall, Damien Molony, Anthony Calf, Kristin Atherton, Vera Chok. In English with Russian subtitles. Acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) returns to the National Theatre with his highly-anticipated new play The Hard Problem, directed by Nicholas Hytner (Othello, Hamlet, One Man, Two Guvnors). Hilary, a young psychology researcher at a brainscience institute, is nursing a private sorrow and a troubling question at work, where psychology and biology meet. If there is nothing but matter, what is consciousness? This is "the hard problem" which puts Hilary at odds with her colleagues who include her first mentor Spike, her boss Leo and the billionaire founder of the institute, Jerry. Is the day coming when the computer and the fMRI scanner will answer all the questions psychology can ask? Meanwhile Hilary needs a miracle, and she is prepared to pray for one.
