If a trip to Broadway is cost-prohibitive in this down economy, then a pilgrimage to London is completely out of the question. So Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 816-561-5222) brings the West End to Westport with three performances of the National Theatre of London, presented in high definition. The National Theatre Live series kicks off with Richard Bean's comic hit
One Man, Two Guvnors, in which hapless, hungry Francis Henshall, suffering his own economic downturn, finds himself in the employ of both a small-time hood and a fugitive murderer, whose meeting he must prevent. The farce unfolds at 2 p.m. today and again at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The series continues with Arnold Wesker's
The Kitchen (in November) and John Hodge's
Collaborators (in January). Regular adult admission costs $15 per show, but a $30 National Theatre Live season ticket admits you to all three. See
tivolikc.com for details.
