The U.K.’s National Theatre Live has unveiled cinema release plans for “Inter Alia,” starring Rosamund Pike as a London Crown Court Judge navigating professional demands and family life.
The production, which runs at the National Theatre’s Lyttelton theatre from July 10 to Sept. 13, marks a high-profile reunion of writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin following their breakout hit “Prima Facie,” starring Jodie Comer.
Pike, the Oscar-nominated star of “Gone Girl” and recently seen in “Saltburn,” portrays Jessica Parks, described as “a smart, compassionate, true maverick” who balances her judicial career with being “a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent.” The narrative centers on how an unexpected event threatens her carefully calibrated life.
Jamie Glover (“Waterloo Road”) and Jasper Talbot (“Redlands”) join Pike in her National Theatre debut.
“Inter Alia” will broadcast live to cinemas around the U.K. on Sept. 4 and will expand to global cinema screens beginning Sept. 25.
“Following the success of the National Theatre Live release of ‘Prima Facie’ which has now been seen on the big screen by 1.4 million people – I’m thrilled to have ‘Inter Alia’ broadcast to cinemas,” Miller said. “I’ve witnessed firsthand how NT Live can not only reach but deeply connect with and impact audiences across the world, and I hope this play will do the same.”
In additional programming news, National Theatre Live will re-release Benedict Andrews’ acclaimed 2014 Young Vic production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” beginning June 5. The revival features Gillian Anderson alongside Vanessa Kirby and Ben Foster.
National Theatre Sky Arts serves as the headline sponsor of National Theatre Live in the U.K.
