Drama From London
Coming up in National Theatre Live at Guild Hall is “Inter Alia,” a new play by Suzie Miller that will be shown Friday at 7 p.m. The production, which finished its run last month at the Lyttelton Theatre in London, is directed by Justin Martin and stars Rosamund Pike, an Oscar nominee for “Gone Girl.”
Ms. Pike plays a smart Crown Court Judge who is at the top of her career when a sexual assault allegation against her teenage son threatens to throw her life dramatically off balance.
In a review in The Independent, Alice Saville wrote that “Rosamund Pike paints an infinitely more complex portrait of motherhood in this brilliantly tense, emotive drama.”
Tickets are $20, $18 for members.
For Jeremy Dennis
The Courage Project, an initiative launched in May, has just announced awards to 20 organizations and individuals across the nation for demonstrating the power of courage in their communities.
One of those honored is Jeremy Dennis, the Shinnecock artist who reclaimed his late grandmother’s home on the reservation and transformed it into Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio.
In a statement on its website, the Courage Project says, “Starting with no outside support, he poured in his own time and resources to restore the space and create a hub for Indigenous and BIPOC artists.”
Pop, Jazz, and Blues
Sag Harbor’s Masonic Temple is hosting two concerts this weekend, starting Friday at 7:30 p.m. with a performance by Anita Guarino, a Sag Harbor vocalist who sings at many local venues. Accompanied by Bill Cento on piano, she will perform interpretations of pop classics, jazz standards, tunes from the Great American Songbook, and requests. The doors open at 7; admission is $20.
Saturday will bring Jake Lear, a blues master, and his backup band, the Kings, to the venue at 8 p.m., along with an appearance by Kings County Tractor Supply Company, a Brooklyn-based band. The temple promises “blistering blues and heart-warming roots music,” all for just $20.
