Arena (1975)

The National Theatre (2): War and Peace (2013x3)

Data di messa in onda: Ott 31, 2013

The National Theatre turned 50 in October 2013, and gave the BBC unprecedented access to make two Arena documentaries for BBC Four. In the second film Peter Hall, Richard Eyre, Trevor Nunn and Nicholas Hytner talk about running the new National Theatre - the biggest job in the British theatre - from its opening by the Queen in 1976 through the strikes which nearly forced it to close in the 1970s, clashes with the government, the controversy of the play 'Romans in Britain', to the fulfilment of Olivier's original dream with the huge success of shows like 'Amadeus', 'Guys and Dolls', 'War Horse' and 'One Man Two Guvnors'.
