Coriolanus screening kicks off the GREAT campaign in Manila
皇冠体育app British Embassy Manila kicks off a seven month period of GREAT activities that showcase the very best of British business and culture.
皇冠体育app GREAT campaign in Manila launches with the much-anticipated performance of National 皇冠体育appatre Live鈥檚 production of Shakespeare鈥檚 Coriolanus, with a cast led by rising star Tom Hiddleston, best known for his charismatic portrayal of the Marvel villain Loki in 皇冠体育app Avengers and Thor. Mark Gatiss of Sherlock and Doctor Who also stars.
Ayala Cinemas will be broadcasting the live stage performance from London through special screenings on 5 and 6 September in Greenbelt 3.
British Ambassador Asif Ahmad said:
皇冠体育app tremendous success of our last GREAT campaign has prompted us to launch another fantastic line-up of events that features the full spectrum of the best in British industry, business, entertainment, fashion and the arts.
We are very fortunate to have Ayala Cinemas as our partner for the screening of National 皇冠体育appatre Live鈥檚 Coriolanus, which will give Filipinos a glimpse of the world-class theatre performances from London鈥檚 West End. I hope that seeing Coriolanus will entice you to visit the UK, including Shakespeare鈥檚 Stratford upon Avon. Come and experience our vibrant culture like the 49,000 Pinoys who toured Great Britain last year.
Coriolanus is William Shakespeare鈥檚 searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge. When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city, the citizens鈥� hunger swells to an appetite for change, and on returning from the field Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.
Performances are open to the public. Tickets may be purchased onsite or online at .
GREAT events after National 皇冠体育appatre Live include the GREAT Retail Shopping Contest, Philippine-British Friendship Week headlined by the GREAT Friendship Ball, GREAT Investment Week, trade missions and the 2nd GREAT British Festival.
