National Theatre Live: Terry Pratchett's Nation February 15, 2010

The Coolidge Corner Theatre presents an encore broadcast of the London National Theatre’s stage production of NATION, an exhilarating adventure tale of survival and self-discovery based on the best-selling book by Terry Pratchett. The play, filmed live at the legendary National, will be presented on the Coolidge's giant screen in stunning high-definition.

NATION takes place in a parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers are thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau’s village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from her aristocratic home in England. Neither speaks the other’s language; somehow they must learn to survive. Together they come of age as they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.

Bravura performances, live music, and thrilling dance combine to bring to life the spectacular and surprising world of Terry Pratchett's NATION.
