NT Live: Hamlet (22nd January, 2026)
Let’s face it, we’ve all seen at least one version of Hamlet adapted to the stage, but we can guarantee that you’ve never seen it like this. Director Robert Hastie’s modern reimaging of the Shakespearean classic brings a whole new edge to the classic story of betrayal and leadership, fronted by none other than Olivier Award winner Hiran Abeysekera. For fans of The Bard, this is one event you definitely don’t want to miss.
NT Live: The Audience (26th Febrary, 2026)
