National Theatre Live is The National Theatre's groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre live from the London stage to cinemas across the UK and around the world. Plays are filmed in front of a live theatre audience at The National Theatre in London, optimizing everything for the big screen so it's the next best thing to being there. The actors on stage deliver their performances as they normally would any other night. NTL tailors the position of cameras to capture each production and works closely with technical teams to make sure every element on stage such as lighting, hair, and make-up look fantastic on the big screen.

TICKETS: General Admission tickets are available online for $15. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime and seating is first-come, first-served. Bar service and snacks will be available. To purchase tickets, visit atc.org/national-theatre-live/.
