Now open to the public! National Theater Live “Dear England” Yasuo Kurashiki x Shoko Kashiwagi talk event video that was held the other day has been completed
This is a new work by one of Britain’s leading playwrights, James Graham, starring Joseph Fiennes as Gareth Southgate, and has been nominated for nine awards at this year’s Laurence Olivier Awards, the highest award in the British theater world.
……
At the talk event held at TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi on March 20th (Wednesday/Holiday), Mr. Kurashiki, who is knowledgeable about soccer, talked about things like the 1996 European Championship, where Gareth Southgate missed a penalty kick, and the members of the national team. We also heard from Mr. Kashiwagi about the subtitles for the main story, which were difficult due to the subject matter being based on real events, and it was an opportunity to enjoy the work even more deeply. For those who have already seen it in theaters, as well as those who are interested but haven’t seen it yet, we hope that you can get a taste of the fun of this work by watching the video from the talk event.
