ACTOR Tom Hiddleston has fast been making a name for himself with starring roles on stage and screen.

There's a chance to catch a broadcast screening of him in action live from the stage this week.

National Theatre Live will broadcast the Donmar Warehouse’s production of Coriolanus to Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan, and the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven, tomorrow, Thursday January at 6.45pm.

This will be followed by an encore screening at Theatr Mwldan on Thursday February 6 at 6.45pm.

Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge, stars Hiddleston (of The Avengers, War Horse (film), and BBC's The Hollow Crown) in the title role and Mark Gatiss (Season's Greetings at the National Theatre, BBC's Sherlock) as Menenius.

It is directed by the Donmar's artistic director Josie Rourke.

When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus, but he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change and on returning from the field Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.

National Theatre Live performances are filmed live in high definition and broadcast via satellite to over 500 cinemas around the world, live in the UK and Europe and time delayed in countries further afield. There are over 160 venues in the UK alongside venues in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, India, Scandinavia and Europe.

The performances at the National are nominated in advance to allow cameras greater freedom in the auditorium.

Tickets for the NT Live screening of Coriolanus are priced £12.50 full price (£11.50 concessions) and are available from the theatres' box offices.
