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:

10 October - Present Laughter

Noël Coward’s provocative comedy ‘Present Laughter’ returns to the big screen featuring an award-winning performance from Andrew Scott. As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.

Please note that the certificate for ‘Present Laughter’ is PG (under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).

14 November - Prima Facie

‘Prima Facie’ is an award-winning one-woman play performed by Jodie Comer, written by Suzie Miller and directed by Justin Martin. The play follows Tessa, a young brilliant barrister, who has worked her way up from working class origins. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.

Please note that the certificate for Prima Facie is 15 and there is a content warning as the screening includes sensitive subject matters.

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).

National Theatre Live screenings are brought to you by LU Arts and Flix Student Run Cinema.
