Ralph Fiennes is hoping the world will join him in hell — in George Bernard’s play “Man and Superman.”
The Oscar-nominated actor will make his debut foray into event cinema on Thursday when National Theatre Live broadcasts the reinvention of the 1903 play from London’s Lyttelton Theatre to movie theaters in over 1,000 venues across the world.
“We all feel that there’s a sort of spring and a modernity to the piece,” Fiennes said by phone. “Some people think it’s a play of its time. Other people don’t. I like our modern approach to it.”
