Three theatres and so much more... www.nationaltheatre.org.uk |
 |
| The National Theatre is central to the creative life of the country. In its three theatres on London's South Bank, the National presents an eclectic mix of new plays and classics, with seven or eight productions in repertory at any one time. |
NT Education plays an integral part in the work of the National Theatre. Each year up to 100,000 people, from five years of age upwards participate in activities across the country. The aim is to address the audiences of tomorrow, to demystify the process of theatre and to allow access to drama on a national level through youth projects, workshops, work in schools and a nationwide membership scheme.
By touring, the National shares its work with audiences in the UK and abroad.
And there's more. Step inside the National and enjoy free music, exhibitions, and outdoor entertainment in summer; backstage tours; talks and readings; a great theatre bookshop; and plenty of places to eat and drink.
Shakespeare's Henry IV, Parts 1 & 2, directed by Nicholas Hytner, are the first two plays in the Travelex #10 Season of 2005. The cast includes David Bradley as Henry IV, Michael Gambon as Falstaff, Matthew Macfadyen as Hal, and David Harewood as Hotspur. Other recent Shakespeare productions at the National have been Henry V with Adrian Lester; Measure for Measure with Complicite; Love's Labour's Lost with Joseph Fiennes and Olivia Williams; and The Merchant of Venice with Henry Goodman. |
