早在1912年,德国科学家弗里德里克(汤姆·伯克 Tom Burke 饰)提出了“泛大陆”的理论,意指地球上的大陆曾经全部都连在一起,因为地壳运动导致碎裂才形成了如今的格局。1939年,尽管战争正在激烈的进行当中,德国人还是排遣了一只海洋考察队前往北极腹地斯瓦尔巴特群岛,去寻找更多能够支持这一理论的证据。
这次出行的,除了弗里德里克本人和他的助手莱尼(詹妮特·海因 Jeanette Hain 饰)外,还有来自世界各国的科学家们,他们在俄罗斯船长(斯文·诺丁 Sven Nordin 饰)的带领下扬帆起航,向目的地驶去。一边是云谲波诡的无尽海洋,一边是变幻无穷的战争局势,大陆上发生的一切,无不影响着科学家们之间关系微妙的平衡。
It’s 1974, and Britain has a hung Parliament. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backstabbing as the political parties battle to change the future of the nation.
This House is a timely, moving and funny insight into the workings of British politics by James Graham (Ink, ITV's Quiz) and directed by Jeremy Herrin (People, Places and Things). This much-loved production enjoyed two sold-out National Theatre runs, a West End transfer and national tour as well as being filmed by National Theatre Live.
You can watch This House from 7pm UK time on Thursday 28 May until 7pm UK time on Thursday 4 June 2020. It was filmed live on stage at the National Theatre in 2013.
The running time is 2 hours 40 minutes with a very short interval. It is subtitled.
The play is suitable for ages 14+ with some strong language throughout.
