An exciting new season of world-class plays, filmed live from various theatres in London, is drawing to a close at select Ster-Kinekor and Cinema Nouveau theatres at the end of November this year. Cinema audiences and theatre lovers alike are treated to innovative productions from some of Britain’s most exciting playwrights, directors, actors, and stages, on the big screen as part of the NT (National Theatre) Live series.
Each of the NT Live productions are shown at Rosebank Nouveau in Johannesburg, and at Ster-Kinekor cinemas in Brooklyn, Pretoria, Gateway in Umhlanga and at Ster-Kinekor V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, for four screenings only.
“With NT Live productions showing on our cinema screens, local audiences get the opportunity to experience some of the best of British theatre in a theatre-like setting, as an extension of the live production’s audience. The advantage is that local cinema tickets are affordable, making these world-class productions from the UK accessible to anyone who enjoys and appreciates great theatre,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor Theatres.
Following the season’s productions of YERMA, DEAR ENGLAND, VANYA, and THE MOTIVE AND THE CUE, the final production of the current season, NYE, releases on 30 November for four screenings only.
In the brilliant NT Live production, NYE, Michael Sheen plays Nye Bevan in a surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state and created the NHS. Confronted with death, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan’s deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his life; from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill.
Written by Tim Price?and directed by?Rufus Norris (Small Island), this epic new Welsh fantasia was filmed live from the National Theatre. It will be released in select Ster-Kinekor cinemas on 30 November, 01, 04 and 05 December.

Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published – the rest is just Public Relations. – George Orwell

Show Me the Money: Before you put the PR movie list away, jot down one more title: Jerry Maguire. Technically, Tom Cruise’s titular character is a sports agent, not a PR pro – hence its exclusion from our list above – but many of his skills align with the industry. From managing client relationships to pitching and marketing, Jerry Maguire is filled with PR wisdom.

We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as Public Relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. – Aiden Wilson Tozer
