STOCKPORT PLAZA
THE Plaza Super Cinema and Variety Theatre is the home of big screen and live stage entertainment and in our forthcoming attractions we have some of the best satellite live and encore screenings beginning on Thursday, July 16, when we screen the National Theatre production of Everyman.
BAFTA winner and Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor - 12 Years a Slave - takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama’s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre’s new Director Rufus Norris - Broken, London Road.
Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out.
