02 Mar 14 - 10:28 PM (#3606613) Subject: War Horse live cinema showings From: McGrath of Harlow On Wednesday last there was a cinema event with the National Theatre stage production of War Horse beamed to cinemas just about all over the world. Our cinema was packed out, and it was a brilliant show. I've seen it live, and the cinema event was actually even better, because I could hear the words better and see the faces. And the horse puppets were incredible. And the songs of course, so familiar from folk clubs and festivals... I'm wondering if many other Mudcatters went to see it in their cinemas? |

It started OK but if I'd been on my own I'd have gone home at the interval. I found the whole thing boring ...... and those bl##€y horses! I likened the whole thing to a pantomime with more than one horse. |

We actually viewed it in the big hall at the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh which was much better than going to one of these horrible "multiplex" places. |

The National Theatre presentation on a huge screen was absolutely excellent and we needed strong drink when we got home. |

07 Mar 14 - 07:08 AM (#3607954) Subject: RE: War Horse live cinema showings From: My guru always said We saw it on 7th March at Dorking Halls, to a packed house. There were a few seconds here & there of pixellation problems but otherwise was fantastic. Wished we could have joined in the singing and applause and missed the atmosphere of the theatre production, but vision & sound were great! |
