About the Author
Tennessee Williams, was an American playwright and screenwriter. Along with contemporaries Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
Williams suddenly became famous at age 33 with the success of The Glass Menagerie (1944) in New York City. It was the first of a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), and The Night of the Iguana (1961).
About A Streetcar Name Desire
First performed on Broadway on December 3, 1947. The play dramatises the experiences of Blanche DuBois, a former Southern belle who, after encountering a series of personal losses, leaves her once-prosperous situation to move into a shabby apartment in New Orleans rented by her younger sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley.
A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most critically acclaimed plays of the 20th century and Williams's most popular work. It still ranks among his most performed plays, and has inspired many adaptations in other forms, notably a critically acclaimed film that was released in 1951.

Fierce and unstoppable, they are a chorus of wild energy ready to shake Thebes to its core — and liberate its women.
But their god Dionysos has his own reckoning. In a showdown with his cousin, King Pentheus, family loyalty, political power and human desire are pushed to breaking point.

About the Show
“I am my mother’s daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.”
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky, a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men.
Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter’s expensive education – but at what cost?
Four-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bridgerton’s Bessie Carter for the very first time, reuniting with the extraordinary director Dominic Cooke (Hello, Dolly!, Good) to bring George Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic crashing into the 21st Century.

About the Author
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
About Ben Whishaw
Ben Whishaw is a multi-award-winning British actor who graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2003. Ben went on to appear in many films and theatrical plays. He received tremendous critical acclaim and a Laurence Olivier nomination (2005) for his portrayal of the title role in a 2004 production of “Hamlet.”
It was during this run that “Perfume” producer discovered Ben’s extraordinary talent. Since then, he appeared and starred in films and TV series, such as “I’m Not There,” “Nathan Barley,” “Brideshead Revisited,” “The Tempest,” “Skyfall,” “Cloud Atlas,” “Danish Girl,” “Suffragette,” “Spectre,” “Paddington,” “A Very English Scandal,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” “No Time To Die,” “The Lobster” (screenplay by Efthimis Filippou), “This is Going to Hurt,” and “Women Talking,” among others.
Ben has picked up many awards throughout his career: Best Actor at the 2009 Royal Television Society Awards, Best Actor at the International Emmy Awards 2009, Best Actor at the 2012 BAFTA Television Awards, and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “A Very English Scandal,” to name a few.
At the same time, Ben kept his love for theater alive at the National Theatre, The Royal Court Theatre, the Almeida Theatre, The Bridge Theatre, among others.

The Bacchae aren’t standing on the sidelines whilst the men have all the fun. These fangirls are stage-storming powerhouses ready to cause chaos in Thebes.
Whilst the Bacchae maraud in the mountains, their god Dionysos is taking part in his own messed-up family Olympics. He’s here to bring down his cousin King Pentheus. All to prove to the chorus of women that he’s more than just the god of rhyme, wine and a good time.

Watch Young Marx on National Theatre at Home.
Rory Kinnear is Marx and Oliver Chris is Engels, in this comedy directed by Nicholas Hytner and reunites the creative team behind the hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors.
1850, and Europe’s most feared terrorist is hiding in Dean Street, Soho. Broke, restless and horny, the thirty-two-year-old revolutionary is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, invective, satiric wit, and child-like emotional illiteracy.
Creditors, spies, rival revolutionary factions and prospective seducers of his beautiful wife all circle like vultures. His writing blocked, his marriage dying, his friend Engels in despair at his wasted genius, his only hope is a job on the railway. But there’s still no one in the capital who can show you a better night on the piss than Karl Heinrich Marx.

‘Is that what you want? To be an underdog all your life?’
Walker Holt has big dreams for his tailor’s shop, and an even bigger order to complete. Over the course of 24 hours he must work tirelessly to satisfy his new client’s impossible tailoring needs.
But as the night goes on, it’s not just the trouser hems that start to fray as tensions rise and Walker’s friendships and relationships are pushed to their limits. His success comes at a cost, but what price is he willing to pay?
Lynette Linton (Blues for an Alabama Sky, Shifters) directs Michael Abbensetts’ (Sweet Talk, Empire Road) era-defining drama, with additional material by Trish Cooke, in its largest ever staging.

We're looking back at Year 2 of Speak Up, our secondary school programme that aims to encourage new ways for young people to think, see and bring about change.

Watch Emilia Clarke in the play The Seagull, with National Theatre at Home.
Emilia Clarke ( Game of Thrones ) makes her West End debut in this 21st century retelling of Anton Chekhov’s tale of love and loneliness.
What is The Seagull about?
A young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A young man is pining after the woman of his dreams. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. An actress wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside, dreams lie in tatters, hopes are dashed, and hearts broken. With nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other.
Following his critically acclaimed five-star production of Cyrano de Bergerac, Jamie Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s play to stage. Filmed live in London’s West End.
Filmed by National Theatre Live.
A Jamie Lloyd Company production.
About the Author
Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer, widely considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre.
About the Director
Jamie Lloyd has built a reputation for breathing new life into classic works with a special focus that places the spotlight firmly on the performers. His collaborations with some of the world’s most celebrated actors, including Emilia Clarke, Tom Hiddleston and James McAvoy, have resulted in critically acclaimed productions that push boundaries and challenge audiences.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEIGN EARNEST
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People
Our smash-hit production of The Importance of Being Earnest transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre this Autumn, in a co-production with Sonia Friedman Productions.
Directed by Max Webster (Donmar’s Macbeth; Life of Pi) this joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s ‘glittering masterpiece’ (Telegraph), is a hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.
Joining the previously announced Olly Alexander in the role of Algernon Moncrieff will be Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Jack Worthing, Hugh Dennis as Reverend Canon Chasuble, Shobna Gulati as Miss Prism, Kitty Hawthorne as Gwendolen Fairfax, Jessica Whitehurst as Cecily Cardew, Hayley Carmichael as Merriman/Lane, and Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell.
Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so. While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity.
Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade. Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love.
Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.
West End Cast:
We hear what guests at our star-studded premiere thought of Beth Steel's smash-hit new play, Till the Stars Come Down.
After a sold-out run at the National Theatre, the show transfers to the West End this summer for a strictly limited 13-week run.
★★★★★ ‘A modern classic conquers the West End’ The Times
★★★★★ ‘Beth Steel’s rich, raucous bash’ Daily Mail
★★★★★ ‘Deliriously funny’ Telegraph
★★★★★ 'Chekhov on Heineken' WhatsOnStage
Our smash-hit production of Till The Stars Come Down is a ‘West End triumph’ (Telegraph) – now playing a strictly limited summer season until 27 September.
Written by Beth Steel (The House of Shades) and directed by Bijan Sheibani (Barber Shop Chronicles), this 'sweary, soapy state-of-the-nation hit' (Financial Times) follows a tight-knit family gathering on a scorching summer’s day to celebrate the wedding of Sylvia and Marek. But as the drinks flow and the dancing begins, love is tested, loyalties are stretched, and long-held secrets are revealed.
Hailed as ‘a wedding you’ll never forget — and a play you’ll never stop thinking about’ (Theatre Weekly), this Olivier-nominated ‘critical smash’ (WhatsOnStage) celebrates and confronts what it really means to be a family.
‘If you attend one family wedding this summer, make it Beth Steel’s rich, raucous bash’ (Daily Mail) - Till The Stars Come Down is now playing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
A co-production with Eleanor Lloyd Productions, Fiery Angel, Short Street Productions and Access Entertainment.
