National Theatre (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.
Tickets for NT Live screenings are £12 for staff and members of the public and £6 for students. You can book your tickets in advance online or pay by card on the door, subject to availability.
The following NT Live productions will be on offer during the Autumn term:
Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.
Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.
Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
Please note that this screening will be captioned.
Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic.
1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.
Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.
Please note that this screening will not be captioned.
