National Theatre Live

The Habit of Art (1x4)

Uitzenddatum: Apr 22, 2010

Richard Griffiths, Alex Jennings, Adrian Scarborough and Frances de la Tour lead the cast in this multi-layered production. Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, Death in Venice, seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W H Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first for twenty-five years, they are observed and interrupted by amongst others, their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station. Broadcast live from the National Theatre's Lyttelton Theatre.
