TRAVELING LIGHT
The Best of British Theater Broadcast Live to Cinemas Around the World The new play by Nicholas Wright (Vincent in Brixton, The Reporter) TRAVELING LIGHT
Friday, February 17 at 7:30pm $20 Members $25 Public
In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images on his father's cinematograph. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl now a famed American film director looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams. Nicholas Wright's new play is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's golden age. The award-winning Antony Sher whose previous work with the National Theatre includes Primo and Stanley returns to play Jacob. 180 min. with Intermission
