NT LIVE JULY 2009 - MAY 2010NT Live is an initiative by Britain's National Theatre to reach the largest possible audience possible by broadcasting captured live performances of plays onto cinema screens around the world. “The NT Live events are designed to bring what we do on the stages of the National to a far greater number of people than we would ever be able to reach otherwise,” says Nicholas Hytner. “We’ve been thrilled by the response of cinemas around the world to this new experiment. It means we can reach tens of thousands of people in addition to our work in London and on tour.” The pilot season had a phenomenal launch in July 2009 with a global audience of over 50,000 attending NT Director Nicholas Hytner's hugely succesful production of Phèdre starring Academy Award winner Helen Mirren in the title role. All's Well That Ends Well, the second in the series, was a brilliantly received production and a great contrast to Phèdre. Now, in February 2010, following His Dark Materials, Coram Boy and War Horse, the National Theatre stages Mark Ravenhill’s exhilarating adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Nation, his latest witty and challenging adventure story suitable for all ages. And finally, from a sell out season at the National Theatre, Alan Bennett’s new 5-star production The Habit of Art with Richard Griffiths, Alex Jennings and Frances de la Tour will close the series in May 2010.
