Follies is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman. The story concerns a reunion in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for demolition, of the past performers of the "Weismann's Follies", a musical revue (based on the Ziegfeld Follies), that played in that theatre between the world wars.
Court composer Antonio Salieri has composed a new piece of music for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a gift. But his kind attentions backfire, when Mozart virtuosically embellishes his composition.
Peter Shaffer’s iconic play, with Adam Gillen and Lucian Msamati is about the jealously and rivalry between young musical prodigy Mozart and court composer Salieri. Welcome to Vienna.
Amadeus is streaming from 7pm UK time on Thursday 16 July until 7pm UK time on Thursday 23 July 2020.

Thank you to the amazing artists who have allowed us to share The Deep Blue Sea in this way, during this unprecedented time, when so many theatre fans can't visit their local theatres.
At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring. And we make it for everyone.
The Deep Blue Sea was filmed live on-stage by National Theatre Live at the National Theatre in 2016.
A brutal sense of loss and longing burns. Terence Rattigan’s devastating post-war masterpiece contains one of the greatest female roles in contemporary drama. Helen McCrory plays Hester Collyer and Tom Burke is Freddie Page.
A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952.
When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion.
Helen McCrory and director Carrie Cracknell reunite following the acclaimed Medea in 2014.
The Deep Blue Sea is streaming from 7pm UK time on Thursday 9 July until 7pm on Thursday 16 July.
--
The running time is 2 hours 5 minutes with a very short interval.
The BBFC rating is 12A, due to depictions of suicide attempts and some strong language.
The full list of cast and creatives is available here: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/sites/default/files/national-theatre-at-home-the-deep-blue-sea-cast-list.pdf
