NT Live: The Hard Problem

The Hard Problem is Tom Stoppard’s first play for the stage since 2006. The sell out production from The National Theatre will be broadcast live from the performance at RADA.

As You Like It

“All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.”

As You Like It is Shakespeare's great exploration of sexual ambiguity and the hard-fought path to true love.

This new production entwines the 1890's and the 1590's, with Elizabethan women and Victorian men. The aftermath of a violent gang war acts as a backdrop to this melancholic comedy of disguise and the maddening effects of love.

Unprotected

“You're never safe. You know out there, it's like every car you get into, you don't know whether you gonna get out of it.”

Exploring reactions to two violent murders that occurred in Liverpool in 2003, and the proposed introduction of a Managed Zone for street sex workers, this verbatim play won an Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award.

The Sugar Wife

“It’s an imperfect world. No one’s denying that.”

In a play fizzing with sexual energy and political tension, The Sugar Wife examines the lives of a wealthy couple living a life of ‘opulent plain-ness’ within the Dublin Quaker community in 1850 and poses the question - how easy is it to consistently live by your ethics and morals in your daily life?
