I often recommend plays from the National Theatre’s indispensable online platform. Many of you have become devotees of National Theatre At Home as a result. These plays have been filmed live from the stage and usually become available only after the run of the plays have finished.
This week the National is offering two of its current hits to watch live in one day – September 19th – direct from the stage.
Vanya
Andrew Scott brings multiple characters to life in playwright Simon Stephens’ radical new version of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Directed by Sam Yates and designed by Rosanna Vize.
Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions.
People Places & Things
Dennis Gough reprises her Olivier Award-winning role as Emma, a struggling actress whose life is spinning recklessly out of control, in Duncan Macmillan’s searing hit play People Places & Things, directed by Jeremy Herrin and designed by Tony Award-winner Bunny Christie
This will be the ultimate theatre marathon evening, featuring 5-star talent and Olivier award-winning performances, from the comfort of your own home.
Subscribe or purchase one-off access to watch the live double premiere.
Vanya at 7pm BST September 19.
People, Places & Things at 9pm BST September 19.
