Wild by Mike Bartlett to be live-streamed worldwide on 23 July

Wednesday, July 20, 2016

Mike Bartlett's acclaimed Hampstead Theatre play Wild is to be streamed worldwide for free and live on its final night, Saturday 23 July, starting at 7.30pm.

Presented in association with The Guardian, the live-stream will be available via the Hampstead Theatre website. It will then be available for free and on-demand afterwards until 11.59pm on Tuesday, 26 July.

Darkly comic drama Wild explores the unexpected, bewildering, and life-changing consequences of challenging the status quo at a global level. As the State grows more powerful because of technology, and technology grows more powerful because of the State, where do the self-appointed protectors of the rights of the citizen stand? Heroes? Or traitors?

Mike Bartlett is no stranger to the screen - his BBC One series Doctor Foster won two prizes at the National Television Awards 2016, including Best New Drama, and his West End and Broadway hit King Charles III is to be adapted for BBC Two.
