NT Live brings the best of British theatre to your cinema screen. Each production gives you the best seats in the house by filming theatre in front of a live audience to make you feel like you are there!

The Pl***oy of the Western World by John Millington Synge and starring Nicola Coughlan, Eanna Hardwicke and Siobhan McSweeney. Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene...

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Caitriona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to the brim with secrets.

Rating 12A

NT Live brings the best of British theatre to your cinema screen.
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).
One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?
Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.
