Rosamund Pike's 'Inter Alia' Will Screen In Theaters This September as Part of 'National Theatre Live'

Britain's National Theatre not only consistently produces some of the best live theater in the world, but it's also one of the most accessible. Not just in terms of its physical home at London's Southbank Theatre but also to global audiences. Its National Theatre Live program, which releases filmed versions of many of its productions in cinemas worldwide, just screened its 100th broadcast last year, and its unique at-home streaming service allows subscribers to watch both new and classic performances on demand.

Last week, the National Theatre announced that its buzzy production of Inter Alia will arrive in theaters in September. Playwright Suzie Miller's highly anticipated follow-up to her award-winning Prima Facie will mark the National Theatre debut of The Wheel of Time star Rosamund Pike, who returns to the London stage for the first time in fifteen years.

Pike will play a British High Court judge who is forced to reckon with conflict in her professional and private life while trying to hold both together. The story is described as a "searing examination of modern masculinity and motherhood" and, if Prima Facie is anything to go by, will probably feature multiple painfully on-point monologues about modern life as a woman.
