About NT Live

Live theatre broadcast to cinema screens around the world.

‘I grew up in Manchester in the 60s. If I had been able to see Olivier’s National Theatre at my local cinema, I would have gone all of the time.’ Nicholas Hytner

NT Live is an exciting initiative to broadcast live performances of plays onto cinema screens worldwide. The five show pilot season launched with Phèdre, with Helen Mirren, Margaret Tyzack and Dominic Cooper. This was followed by All’s Well That Ends Well on Thursday October 1st, Nation on January 30th and The Habit of Art on April 22nd.

Broadcasts will also feature behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with artists. We hope to open the walls of the National Theatre and invite cinema audiences around the country and the world to share in the work we create.

NT LIVE: London Assurance


Date:
Monday June 28th, 2010 -

CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!

Synopsis:
Sir Harcourt Courtly is lured away from the epicentre of fashionable London by the promise of a rich and beautiful bride, Grace, several decades his junior. Arriving at Oak Hall, Gloucestershire, he marvels at this rural Venus until her charms are eclipsed by her hearty cousin, the foxhunting Lady Gay Spanker. Meanwhile his disguised son turns up in flight from his creditors and falls head over heels for Grace. When Lady Spanker discovers the young couple, she needs little prompting from the visiting chancer Dazzle to lead Sir Harcourt astray.

Dion Boucicault, the Irish genius of London theatre in the age of Dickens, wrote the brilliantly funny London Assurance in 1841 and thereby created – in Sir Harcourt and Lady Spanker – two of the great comic roles of the English stage, played at the NT by Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw.
