Stage on Screen with NT Live
Unless you live in or near London or happen to have a substantial entertainment budget, heading down to the National Theatre to see their latest productions is always going to be tricky.
Luckily help is at hand with a new initiative called NT Live which started in June this year with the beaming of Helen Mirren's new play Phèdre to cinemas around the UK for one day only. For just £10, audiences could watch one of Britain's finest actresses in action from the comfort of their local cinema and not worry about having to get the Tube to the South Bank.
If you missed the 2009 screenings, NT Live returns in January 2010 to Edinburgh's Cameo with an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Nation and on 22 April with Richard Griffiths in The Habit of Art.
Well done to the National for taking a chance on these performances, here's hoping they lead to similar experiments in the future.
