Halstead's Empire Theatre has announced a top National Theatre production will be coming to its big screen.

The theatre is continuing its programme with the National Theatre production of The Seagull.

The performance is being streamed on Thursday, November 3, and tickets will cost £15.50 and £12.50 for under 18s.

Doors open at 6.45pm with the performance kicking off at 7.30pm.

The Seagull was performed at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London.

It stars Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke making her West End debut in the leading role with Tom Rhys Harries, Daniel Monks, Indira Varma, Sophie Wu, Jason Barnett, Robert Glenister, Mika Onyx Johnson, Gerald Kyd, Sara Powell, Katie Buchholz, Tina Harris, Joseph Langdon and David Lee-Jones.

A spokesman for the theatre said: “Emilia Clarke made her West End debut as Nina in Anton Chekhov's play The Seagull.

“The award-winning actress is best known for playing Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones but has also starred in films such as Me Before You and Last Christmas.

“The Seagull play examines the personal and professional relationships of two writers and two actors.

“While individuals work hard to achieve fame to make their dreams a reality, it comes at a human cost.

“The Seagull was originally written in Russian by Anton Chekhov, but The Seagull London play is a new adaptation by Anya Reiss. 

“With Anya Reiss's new twists to The Seagull, Chekhov is given a 21st Century update.”
