NETWORK
Saturday 10 November 2018 –
Sunday 17 March 2019
Belasco Theatre
​
Adam Blanshay Productions are overjoyed to be co-producers with the National Theatre's Broadway transfer of NETWORK.
​
The National Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of NETWORK, adapted by Lee Hall from the Academy-Award winning film by Paddy Chayefsky, directed by Ivo van Hove, and featuring Bryan Cranston as news anchor Howard Beale, will transfer to
Broadway this autumn for a limited 18 week run.
NETWORK will begin performances at the Belasco Theatre on Saturday 10 November 2018 and officially open on Thursday 6 December.
Howard Beale (Bryan Cranston, in the performance that won him the 2018 Olivier Award for Best Actor in Play), news anchor-man, isn’t pulling in the viewers. In his final broadcast he unravels live on screen. But when ratings soar, the network seizes on their newfound populist prophet, and
Howard becomes the biggest thing on TV.
NETWORK depicts a media landscape where opinion trumps fact. Hilarious and hair-raising by turns, the iconic film by Paddy Chayefsky won four Academy Awards in 1976.
NETWORK received its world premiere at the National Theatre on 13 November 2017.
