NVAP Screening: Art

Join us to watch Matthew Warchus’s production of Art starring Rufus Sewell, Tim Key and the late, great Paul Ritter. Raising questions about art, friendship and authenticity, this unmissable revival revolves around three friends, who’s 15-year relationship is challenged when one buys an expensive painting – an all-white canvas.  

 

This production was recorded live by the V&A in January 2017 at the Old Vic, London. 

 

Established in 1992, through an agreement with the Federation of Entertainment Unions, NVAP was the first project of its kind in the UK. The archive now holds over 450 high-quality archival multi-camera recordings of live performance in Britain and continues to record and preserve productions for the national collection. The archive, launched with Richard Eyre’s production of Richard III starring Ian McKellen (National Theatre, 1992), features a vast range of stage performances with work by notable playwrights, directors, set designers, lighting designers and actors. It is an invaluable research tool to view and learn about significant British productions and captures and preserves moments of ephemeral performance history that otherwise would be lost.
