NT Live Encore Screening: No Man's Land (15)

Two acting knights of the realm – Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart – relish their roles as ageing writers Hirst and Spooner, who become locked in a battle of booze-sodden wits one balmy summer’s evening, in a recording of a live broadcast from the stage of Wyndham’s Theatre in London. As the power game shifts from a Hampstead pub to Hirst’s nearby stately home, boasting and one-upmanship slowly escalate out of control in Sean Mathias’ revival of Harold Pinter’s absurdist drama.
