National Theatre Live is an initiative by the National Theatre to broadcast live performances onto cinema screens around the world. Since its first season in June 2009, the broadcasts have been experienced by more than 5.5 million people in more than 2,000 venues around the world, including more than 650 venues in the UK alone.

Though each broadcast is filmed in front of a live audience in the theatre, cameras are carefully positioned throughout the auditorium to ensure that cinema audiences get the ‘best seat in the house’ view of each production. Where these cameras are placed is different for each broadcast, to make sure that cinema audiences enjoy the best possible experience every time.

Don’t miss this chance to see great theater broadcast at the Quick Center before it goes to New York or back overseas.  This year’s broadcast presentations include The Late Late Show's, James Corden, Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch and more.
