National Theatre Live
As an important program in the UK-China Year of Cultural Exchange, 'National Theatre Live' is jointly held by the National Theatre of China and the National Theatre of England. The program vastly expands the influences of outstanding theater productions by crossing the boundaries of time. The popular plays staged in London and New York will be played simultaneously in UCCA. We make sure that every audience member who walks into UCCA Art Cinema will experience a unique view of the stage. Also, high-quality equipment enables the camera slide rail, special features, and close-ups of the play to provide the audiences with a detailed audiovisual effect and reveal the unique charm of theater at the same time. Of Mice and Men is set in California during the Great Depression, and follows two migrant workers George, a sharp but uneducated, short-tempered man, and Lennie, a large but simple-minded man. Together they hope to one day acquire their own piece of land. But when Lennie stirs up trouble on the job, George must choose between protecting his friend or staying the course towards his version of the American dream.
