The Habit of Art

Join us for NT Live's special screening of "Habit of Art". What is NT Live? NT Live is filmed at the National Theater of London and is an exciting new initiative to broadcast plays onto cinema screens worldwide.

Synopsis:
Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, Death in Venice, seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W H Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first for twenty-five years, they are observed and interrupted by, amongst others, their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station.

Alan Bennetts new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passions spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.
