Would Carey Mulligan really have a May-December affair with Bill Nighy? Maybe, but that’s the wrong question. Can the two acclaimed British actors play a couple who do? Absolutely—beautifully and splendidly and to very broad acclaim. Skylight, the David Hare play that currently stars Nighy and Mulligan, is the next installment in Shakespeare Theatre Company’s series of National Theatre Live broadcasts from London. Grab a comfy seat in Sidney Harman Hall, and listen as Mulligan, a stridently liberal math teacher, and Nighy, a capitalist restaurateur, spar as ex-lovers with conflicting social values.

EAT THIS

Inspired by South Korean street vendors, the owners of Sakuramen have opened a second restaurant called Bul. The Adams Morgan eatery, whose name translates to “fire,” specializes in skewered grilled meats, including chicken meatball, prawns, and bacon-wrapped asparagus. Other highlights include “hangover soup,” which consists of fish cakes and enoki mushrooms in a rich, savory seafood broth, as well as the “K-Pork fried rice” with pork chashu roasted with homemade kimchi. Bul doesn’t have its liquor license quite yet, but you can try three flavors of fermented tea blends from D.C. producer Craft Kombucha in the meantime. Bul, 2431 18th St. NW; (202) 733-3921; buldc.com. (Jessica Sidman)
