Step into the National Theatre's Archive in this audio described video and discover the stories behind Carrie Cracknell's production of Medea, in a version by Ben Power and starring Helen McCrory.
In this audio described virtual visit to the Archive, follow our exploration and discovery of how the work of ancient Greek dramatists like Euripides can be communicated effectively through performance. We will see how items from the Archive can help explore alternative stagings and different interpretations of the play.
This video, with audio description, explains some of the conventions of Greek tragedy such the chorus, the open-air set, and costume, and delves into the practicalities of staging an ancient Greek play in a modern theatre building. We also discuss the theme of the supernatural in this particular production.
As an example of seminal world literature, Euripides' Medea has been adapted and performed on almost every continent. Going behind the scenes of the productions lets us ask fresh questions about why these plays and their myths are still relevant today. Looking at these texts in performance also allows us to unlock new interpretations of classic literature.
Director: Carrie Cracknell
Designer: Tom Scutt
Lighting Designer: Lucy Carter
Choreographer: Lucy Guerin
Music: Will Gregory & Alison Goldfrapp

Audio described version. Step into the National Theatre's Archive and discover the stories behind Polly Findlay's production of Antigone, adapted by Don Taylor and starring Christopher Eccleston and Jodie Whittaker.
In this virtual visit to the Archive, follow our exploration and discovery of how the work of ancient Greek dramatists like Sophocles can be communicated effectively through performance. We will see how items from the Archive can help explore alternative stagings and different interpretations of the play.
This video explains some of the conventions of Greek tragedy such the open-air set, the chorus, and costume and delves into the practicalities of staging an ancient Greek play in a modern theatre building. We also discuss the concept of ensemble in modern theatre practice, and in this production.
As an example of seminal world literature, Sophocles' Antigone has been adapted and performed on almost every continent. Going behind the scenes of the productions lets us ask fresh questions about why these plays and their myths are still relevant today. Looking at these texts in performance also allows us to unlock new interpretations of classic literature.

From the imagination of Neil Gaiman, best-selling author of Coraline, Good Omens and The Sandman (now a major Netflix series), comes the National Theatre’s major new stage adaptation of The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
This five-star spectacular from the producers of War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a thrilling adventure of fantasy, myth and friendship, taking audiences on an epic journey to a childhood once forgotten and the darkness that lurks at the very edge of it.
Returning to his childhood home, a man finds himself standing beside the pond of the old Sussex farmhouse where he used to play. He's transported to his 12th birthday when his remarkable friend Lettie claimed it wasn't a pond, but an ocean–a place where everything is possible...
Plunged into a magical world, their survival depends on their ability to reckon with ancient forces that threaten to destroy everything around them.
Suitable for 12+ years.
