EXHIBITION WALK THROUGH & ARTIST TALK: CLAIRE WATSON

Join artist Claire Watson for an exhibition walkthrough and artist talk in conjunction with her exhibition Re-Paired, which spans earlier and recent works, featuring mixed-media wall works and sculptures. Watson’s practice draws on found materials; in recent work, she deconstructs salvaged leather garments and rebuilds them into new compositions using sewing and pattern-making techniques. Emphasizing leather’s tactile and structural qualities, the works transform worn, utilitarian objects into abstract reflections on the body, labor, and presence.

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES

by Christopher Hampton
based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
directed by Marianne Elliott

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: FRANKENSTEIN

by Nick Dear, based on the novel by Mary Shelley

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.

Captured live on stage in 2011, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD

by John Millington Synge
directed by Caitríona McLaughlin

Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in John Millington Synge’s riveting play of youth and self-discovery.

Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: ALL MY SONS

by Arthur Miller
directed by Ivo Van Hove
design by Jan Versweyveld

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).

One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: THE AUDIENCE

by Peter Morgan
directed by Stephen Daldry

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

IN-PROCESS: HOLLAND ANDREWS & YUNIYA EDI KWON—HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LOOK AT NOTHING

Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artists-in-Residence Holland Andrews and yuniya edi kwon share an in-process presentation of their experimental opera, How does it feel to look at nothing.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LOOK AT NOTHING is an experimental opera and embodied pre-origin story of a Deity of Nothingness. Working through an improvised language of disintegration, the project blends composition, improvisation, movement, and ritual to explore the forces and conditions that compel life’s emergence, and the spiritual act of meaning-making during epochs of decay. Grounded in their shared spiritual lineages and lives as partners, the work is shaped by Holland and yuniya’s lived experiences as trans artists of color, engaging questions of queer parenthood, trans pregnancy, and contemporary socio-political disintegration through a poetic, elemental lens.

The in-process showing offers a glimpse into the evolving performance language of the work, as Holland and yuniya appear as composer-performers, soloists, and multi-instrumentalists. Drawing from Korean Shamanic Ritual, channeled singing, contemporary opera, American experimentalism, punk and hardcore, and Japanese Butoh, they embody fluid and entangled identities—elemental force, deity, witness, child, parent, and memory—within a living, syncretic creative process.

Creators / Composer-Performers / Soloists: Holland Andrews & yuniya edi kwon
Creative Producer: Roya Amirsoleymani
Sound Design: Lester St. Louis
Lighting & Production: Maggie Heath
Scenic Design: KC Englander
Stage Manager: Ariana Swei
Costume Design: Bonan Li
Movement Coach: Marie Lloyd Paspe

How does it feel to look at nothing has received support from a Guggenheim Fellowship, Creative Capital Award, Sweat Variant’s Artists Supporting Artists Program Grant, and the Baroness Nina von Maltzahn Fellowship from The Watermill Center. The project has been developing in residencies at Teatro Municipal do Porto (Portugal), National Sawdust, BAM, Avaloch Farm Music Institute, Shadowcliff Artist Residency, The Watermill Center, and Guild Hall. The project’s lead commissioner is John C. Robinson, with special thanks to Chiwoniso Kaitano. The project is powered by its 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor, Producer Hub.

How does it feel to look at nothing will have its world premiere in Fall 2026 before touring nationally and internationally.

 

WINTER CLASSIC: PATHS OF GLORY

HamptonsFilm and Guild Hall’s Winter Classic series returns with HamptonsFilm Co-Chair Alec Baldwin and Chief Creative Officer David Nugent presenting Stanley Kubrick‘s 1957 epic film PATHS OF GLORY, starring Kirk Douglas.

PATHS OF GLORY remains a monument to the anti-human aspects of war. Kirk Douglas leads a consistently excellent cast as a man of peace who answers his country’s call to war. He and his regiment are set up for suicide missions and are generally manipulated in ways that show no regard for their lives. Time again, Douglas finds himself in the centre of a power struggle that has nothing to do with the war. And he is constantly frustrated in his attempts to do right by his men.

PATHS OF GLORY, even today, stands as one of the most moving studies of men in armed conflict ever to be recorded on film. This is the film that first brought Stanley Kubrick (DR. STRANGELOVE, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, THE SHINING) both wide acclaim and controversy.

Print from a new restoration by UCLA.

In a post-screening discussion, Baldwin and Nugent will look at the legacy and influence of the film nearly 60 years after its release.

Run Time: 90 Minutes
