British performances at the cinema

Pod Baranami cinema will host two performances recorded at the famous Theatre Royal Windsor: ‘Hamlet’, starring Ian McKellen, and ‘Prima Facie’, starring Jodie Comer.

‘Hamlet’, directed by Sean Mathias, is a transcript of a performance that took place at the Theatre Royal Windsor, which was deserted due to the pandemic. Casting 85-year-old actor Ian McKellen (known for films such as ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘The Hobbit’ and the ‘X-Men’ series) in the role of the young Danish prince adds a whole new emotion and meaning to the play by the English playwright. Ian McKellen is a theatre magician and Shakespeare specialist. In addition to Hamlet, he has played the characters of Romeo, Macbeth, Coriolanus and King Lear. For his achievements, not only as an actor, he has won the adoration of audiences and the most important awards (including the Tony, the Golden Globe, the Laurence Olivier Award six times). The elsinor in the production has been made theatrical interiors, such as the stage, backstage, dressing rooms and corridors. This interesting procedure underlines Shakespeare's conviction about the ‘theatricality’ of the world around us.
Screenings of ‘Hamlet’ at Pod Baranami Cinema on 25 September at 6 p.m. and on 5 October at 3.15 p.m. The performance is accompanied by a previously unpublished interview with Han McKellen and Sean Mathias. Tickets £35.
‘A solo tour de force’, “Jodie Comer takes the stage by storm”, “A brave, flawless performance” - that's how the production of Prima Facie, directed by Justin Marrjna and staged at London's Harold Pin-ter Theatre, was commented on by critics.
The main and only person appearing on stage in Suzie Miller's play is Jodie Comer (series ‘Eve's Obsession’, ‘The Last Duel’, ‘Free Guy’), who plays the role of a working-classworking-class barrister Te-ssy makes her debut in the legendary West End.
Her character is ambitious, determined and great at what she does. She masterfully defends her clients - men accused of sexual misconduct - making clear any inaccuracies and chiaroscuro in their cases.
However, an unexpected turn of events causes the paths of the patriarchal power of the law, the force of evidence and morality to begin to diverge. ‘Prima Facie’ takes the audience into the very centre of events, during which emotions and experience clash with the inexorable rules of the game.
The performance ‘Prima Facie’ will be seen at Pod Baranami Cinema on Sunday, 29 September at 3 p.m.
