Joseph Fiennes (star of Shakespeare in Love) takes the stage—on screen—in this National Theatre Live prerecording of Dear England. It’s a story as old as time; a middle-aged man rants about the lackluster performance of a sporting enterprise they live vicariously through. Fans of athletic idolatry will revel in the experience oozing with wit, drama, perhaps some lustful soliloquizing, and the eternally handsome Fiennes. Finally, James Graham’s play will be shown how it was meant to be seen: projected on a screen in a theater built explicitly for live performance.
