FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Peterborough Players Simulcasts Nation
Britain’s National Theatre Production a World Premiere
Peterborough, NH (January 14, 2010) – Nation, a world premiere, will be simulcast in high definition at the Peterborough Players theatre on January 30 at 2:00 PM. This play, based on a novel by Terry Pratchett, adapted by Mark Ravenhill, will be recorded from the stage of the National Theatre in London in front of an audience.
Nation takes place in 1860. Two teenagers are thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau’s village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. Together they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, as they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.
