Amadeus to be screened at Stafford Gatehouse
Live Screenings of National Theatre (NT) productions are set to continue at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre next month, with Peter Shaffer's masterpiece Amadeus on Thursday.
In the iconic play about music, power and jealousy, Lucian Msamati (Luther, Game of Thrones) plays the role of Salieri in a production broadcast live from the National Theatre, and with live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia.
Gatehouse spokesman Thomas Waldron said: "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna, the music capital of the world – and he's determined to make a splash.
"Awestruck by his genius, court composer Antonio Salieri has the power to promote his talent or destroy his name. Seized by obsessive jealousy he begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God."
The National Theatre encore screening of Amadeus will take place at 7pm. Tickets are priced at £13.
