The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company, in partnership with Picturehouse Entertainment, will broadcast three productions of its year-long Plays at the Garrick season live to cinemas worldwide. The first one will be The Winter's Tale at 19:00 on Thursday 26 November 2015.


Broadcast dates of the two others "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Entertainer" will be announced on the day of the preceding production's broadcast. Participating cinemas can be found at branaghtheatrelive.com
Kenneth Branagh said: "In 2015, where theatre making and film making meet is exciting. The cinema broadcasts of our plays hope to challenge the possibilities of this relationship. We have a team of people who are experienced in both worlds. The potential results, particularly in exploring the magic of Shakespeare, should be fascinating..."

"...The Winter's Tale is a play I have been drawn to through my entire career. Judi Dench has famously been in the play as Hermione and Perdita, but to have her in the company as Paulina and for us to work together on Shakespeare, which we have not done since Coriolanus in Chichester twenty years ago, is very rewarding..."
Kenneth Branagh also said : "Whether you´re in a cinema in Milton Keynes or Inverness you´re aware that, in Charing Cross Road, Judi Dench is playing Paulina before your very eyes,“ he said. “There is a growing development of audiences who really enjoy this cinematic connection to the live experience, it means there is a growing sense of occasion and anticipation."

Kenneth Branagh´s company is taking a year-long residence at the Garrick theatre in London. The Winter´s Tale plays 17 October 2015 until 16 January 2016 at the Garrick theatre, London.
