NT Live is an opportunity for people to access top-quality London productions in their local area at a fraction of the cost. The screenings are either recorded live and screened at a later date or broadcast live on the night.
During this semester, the following NT Live productions will be on offer:
Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica Parks, a smart Crown Court Judge at the top of her career. Behind the robe, she is a karaoke fiend, a loving wife and a supportive parent. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, can she hold her family upright?
Writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin reunite following their global phenomenon ‘Prima Facie’, with this searing examination of modern motherhood and masculinity.
Please note that the certificate for ‘Inter Alia’ is 15 and there is a content warning as the screening includes sensitive subject matters.
23 October – Mrs Warren’s Profession
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland.
After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.
Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.
Tickets for NT Live screenings are £10 for staff and members of the public and £5 for students, which makes these the cheapest NT Live screenings in the area. You can book your tickets in advance online or pay by card on the door (subject to availability).
