Our Next NT Live Screening: The Habit of Art by Alan Bennett
Our next screening of live-captured performance from the National Theatre, London, will be the acclaimed new drama from Alan Bennett, The Habit of Art.
The Habit of Art is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men - Benjamin Britten and W. H. Auden - and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion's spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.
Saturday, May 15, 2pm, and Sunday May 16, 7pm
All tickets $20
"I can think of few plays that combine wild laughter, deep emotion and technical ingenuity with such bravura. The Habit of Art is a smash hit if ever I saw one… Alex Jennings is superb… Frances de la Tour, as the stage manager and Adrian Scarborough as the biographer Humphrey Carpenter, give performances of comic perfection." -- Daily Telegraph
The Habit of Art is recommended for mature audiences.

Coming Next to Third Rail, A World Premiere: The Gray Sisters by Craig Wright
Our first commission!
Third Rail has always been a big fan of Craig Wright, our most frequently produced playwright. Two of our previous Craig Wright productions, Recent Tragic Events and Grace, have garnered Third Rail Drammy Awards for Outstanding Production.
Now Craig is a fan of us! After seeing our production of Grace, he offered to pen a script specifically for Third Rail's luminous actresses. In The Gray Sisters, four sisters unravel their family's history, and in the process grapple with questions of love, loyalty, faith, and fate. Gretchen Corbett, Stephanie Gaslin, Maureen Porter, and Valerie Stevens will star in this world premiere.
The Gray Sisters opens April 30. Reserve your tickets today.
