Academy Award® Nominees Hit Cinemas Nationwide From the NT Live Stage With Andrew Garfield in ‘Angels in America’ and Jude Law in ‘Obsession,’ for Three Days This Summer

DENVER – March 13, 2017 – Love, temptation and fear will captivate moviegoers as Fathom Events, BY Experience and National Theatre Live partner to bring the best of the stage to U.S. cinemas with “NT LIVE: Obsession” on May 11 and “NT LIVE: Angels in America” on July 20 and 27, all captured live each day.

Tickets for “NT LIVE: Obsession” and “NT LIVE: Angels in America” can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 500 select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

“Obsession” features Jude Law (“The Young Pope”) in a tale of adultery and crime full of passion and destruction in this one-night event on Thursday, May 11 at 7:00 p.m. local time. Law stars as the handsome, down-on-his-luck Gino in the new stage adaptation of Visconti’s penetrating social drama directed by Tony Award^®-winner Ivo van Hove (“Hedda Gabler,” “A View from the Bridge”). Drifter Gino encounters Giuseppe and his much younger, trapped wife Giovanna at their roadside restaurant and petrol station. He and Giovanna are so irresistibly attracted to one another they begin an affair while plotting to murder her husband. But the crime does not unite them in this chilling story where passion can lead only to destruction. Broadcast from the prestigious Barbican Theatre, “Obsession” marks Law’s first London theatre performance in four years.

Andrew Garfield (“Silence,” “Hacksaw Ridge”) stars in “Angels in America,” a story set in New York during the 1980s AIDS crisis in a conservative America, as people fight for their lives. “Angels in America” will be broadcast in two parts; “Part 1: Millennium Approaches” on Thursday, July 20 at 7:00 p.m. local time and “Part 2: Perestroika” on Thursday, July 27 at 7:00 p.m. local time. Andrew Garfield plays Prior Walter alongside cast including Denise Gough (“People, Places and Things”), Nathan Lane (“The Producers”), James McArdle (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) and Russell Tovey (“The Pass”).

This new staging of Tony Kushner’s multi award-winning two-part play is directed by Olivier^® and Tony Award-winning director Marianne Elliott (“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” and “War Horse”). “Part One: Millennium Approaches” was first performed at the National Theatre in 1992 and was followed by “Part Two: Perestroika” the following year.

“National Theatre Live continues to make some of the best stage shows with the biggest names accessible to cinema audiences,” Fathom Events Vice President of Programming Kymberli Frueh said. “Theatre fans of all kinds will appreciate these two compelling shows from the ‘best seats in the house’ – at their local movie theater.”
