National Theatre of London's SKYLIGHT Will Screen in HD at the Ridgefield Playhouse Next Week

Back by popular demand the revival of a David Hare's Skylight, which had a sold out run in London's West End, returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse for an encore in HD screening on Thursday, March 24, 2022 at 7pm. This must-see screening is an intelligent and thought-provoking production stars Bill Nighy (Love Actually, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) and Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, The Dig), with both delivering very strong powerhouse performances. Stephen Daldry's London revival of David Hare's 1995 drama was filmed live on-stage in London's West End in 2015. One cold night in London, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis (Carey Mulligan) receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant (Bill Nighy). As the evening progresses, a battle unfolds between opposing ideologies and mutual desires. Written by acclaimed British dramatist David Hare in 1995, this smash hit production played to packed houses in the West End, with director Stephen Daldry. Part of the Classical Series, underwritten by Roger Berlind, Liz & Steven Goldstone and Sabina Slavin, with additional support from Whistle Stop Bakery. Discount tickets are available for members, seniors, college students, AAA members and Ridgefield Library card holders. Tickets are FREE to all students under 18.

The New York Times credits Skylight's leads for delivering "two of the most expert stage performances youre likely to see for many seasons." The Guardian lauds the "stage realism of a very high order." With two performers as transfixing as Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy, this is one big screen event not to miss at The Ridgefield Playhouse!
