July 19th 7:00pm, 2024 National Theatre: Present LaughtePresent Laughter
by Noël Coward The multi award-winning production of Noël Coward’s provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott (Vanya, Fleabag) returns to the big
screen. As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching. Filmed live from The Old Vic in London during a sold out run in 2019, Matthew Warchus
(Matilda The Musical) directs this giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.

EOS: Van Gogh: POETS & LOVERSDirected by David Bickerstaff – Produced by Phil Grabsky 200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh work, the
National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he
revolutionised his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealised spaces and symbolic characters. Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created
masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show.
