Birdman

This wild, savagely funny black comedy is not at all your usual kind of superhero movie. Riggan Thomson (Keaton, BATMAN) is a washed-up actor who made his name starring in an iconic Hollywood franchise about the Birdman. Now he longs to be taken seriously as a Broadway playwright and director, but his theatre production is dogged by disaster, and his Birdman alter ego just won’t leave him alone. When famous stage actor Mike Shiner (Norton) is persuaded to join the show at the last minute, Riggan’s prayers seem to have been answered – but instead Mike’s raging ego threatens to destroy Riggan’s dreams for good. BIRDMAN marries scurrilous showbiz satire with the poignant tale of a man facing up to his own obsolescence, and Keaton’s performance is absolutely fearless. A truly dazzling film.

Swan Lake: Live (Bolshoi Ballet)

At the palace, the royal family and their guests are gathered for Prince Siegfried’s birthday celebrations. In a majestic ceremony, Siegfried is made a knight; young girls try to attract his attention, as he must choose a wife during the ball. Overcome by the sudden awareness of his future responsibilities, he escapes into the night and meets a strange flock of swans by a magical lake. White swan by day, human by night, the beautiful Odette awaits an oath of true love to break the curse. The great legend of the enigmatic woman/swan is one of the most romantic classical ballets, appropriately set in the era of courtly romance and characterised by elegance, style and harmony. With Tchaikovsky’s famous, lyrical score, Swan Lake depicts the tragic love between Princess Odette and Prince Siegfried, and will no doubt be performed to perfection by the unparalleled virtuosity of Russia’s great Bolshoi Ballet. This universal and enchanting masterpiece of love, deception and drama is a must.

RSC LIVE: Love’s Labour’s Lost (RSC Live)

Love’s Labour’s Lost and Love’s Labour’s Won (usually known as Much Ado About Nothing) from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. As part of a season marking the centenary of the First World War, Christopher Luscombe returns to the Royal Shakespeare Company to direct a single company of actors in a fresh pairing of two of Shakespeare’s most sparkling comedies, set in a splendid country house just before and just after the war. Returning to the RSC are Edward Bennett and Michelle Terry, who will play the lovers in both productions. In Love’s Labour’s Lost, the mischievous Rosaline tests Berowne’s high-minded resolve in the summer of 1914. At the end of the play the merriment is curtailed as the lovers agree to submit to a period apart, unaware the world around them is about to be transformed by a war to end all wars. Love’s Labour’s Won begins four years later in the autumn of 1918 with a world-weary Benedick and Claudio returning from the trenches to a post-war house party, where Claudio falls in love with Hero and Benedick reignites his altogether more combative courtship with Beatrice. Youthful passions run riot before peace ultimately breaks out.
