National Theatre Live is back at Multikino

 National Theatre Live is back at Multikino!

If, like me, you are a theatre enthusiast, you should know about the new cycle of plays screened at Multikino cinemas all around Poland. This is a unique opportunity to take part in some of the most prestigious cultural events in Europe. You may find tickets a bit more expensive than for normal movie screenings, but when you compare them to London theatre ticket prices (50-250 pounds, with the cheapest tickets giving you a very poor viewing experience), the price is a reaaaally good deal! The performances are filmed in front of a live audience, as normal theatre shows, so you can feel as if you were actually there, except you can see the actors' faces up close, plus you have subtitles in Polish if you don't trust your English well enough ;)
So, if you want to experience something extraordinary, treat yourself to an evening at one of the best  theatres in the world: National Theatre Live. The highlights of this season for me are All about Eve with Jillian Anderson and Lilly James, and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream with none other than Gwendoline Christie (aka Brienne of Tarth!) as Titania. This, for me, is certainly a dream come true.

Shakepeare clichés



As you might know, Shakespeare was very creative in his use of English, and more than a thousand expressions in present-day English are attributed to him and his plays or poetry. So much so that it has inspired comedians to play with the idea. As you can hear in the video, they have the audience "in stitches" about it ;)
