Rialto Cinemas Cerrito is pleased to announce the NT Live Season for 2009 - 2010. NT Live is a new initiative by the UK's National Theatre to broadcast live performances of plays onto cinema screens around the world. All performances begin as advertised, additionally there is "walk in" content shown for one half hour before the presentation featuring interviews with cast and crew.

based on a novel by Terry Pratchett
adapted by Mark Ravenhill

A parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers 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. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress; neither speaks the other's language; somehow they must learn to survive. As starving refugees gather, Daphne delivers a baby, milks a pig, brews beer and does battle with a mutineer. Mau fights cannibal Raiders, discovers the world is round and questions the reality of his tribe's fiercely patriarchal gods. Together they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, as they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.

Oh I think you think I want to eat you but - no no no - I am offering you afternoon tea - over there - in one hour.

Following His Dark Materials, Coram Boy and War Horse, the National stages Mark Ravenhill's exhilarating adaptation of Terry Pratchett's latest witty and challenging adventure story.

There's no demons, no gods. Just me. And the waves and the sun and birth and death. And there's no reason for anything. I'm sorry: that's just the way it seems to me.
