Interesting. You should start a thread for “Unauthorised people on stage” - I’ve got an odd one.

In that RSC Complete Works Festival when they did Henry VIII in that church in Stratford they used real fireworks outside as part of the staging. One of the few productions I tried to get tickets for and failed. Billington rates it as the best production of that play he’s seen.

"That church" you mean Holy Trinity where Shakespeare's grave is! You are a card. I saw that and dont recall any fireworks. The big fuss was the use of a real life baby at the end for the infant Elizabeth. Good production.

Yes, baby but no fireworks. Or maybe we just didn’t see them cos we were inside the church😳

Oh, accounting is one of the dark arts, but as a rule of thumb if you are adding money to your reserves (you have spent less than your income) you are doing ok, as long as you don't have a share price to worry about.

Here's Billington mentioning the fireworks:

www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/may/13/best-shakespeare-productions-henry-viii

Possible explanations:

1) They only did them on press night
2) They were unrelated fireworks somewhere else
3) Billington imagined them

All equally likely.

Smell it. Touch it. Kiss it. Kiss it! It's the mother lode...

As a charity, the National Theatre is not liable for corporation tax. Neither are any of its trading and commercial arms, providing they gift aid their profits back to the parent.

This year's full accounts have not yet been lodged at Companies House, but in the financial year 2015/16, save for £100,000, the vast majority of depreciation was in respect of leasehold improvements and equipment.

What I didn't realise is that the National is not actually owned by the National. It is owned by ACE and held on a lease expiring in 2138.

Interested in theatres as much as theatre, and business as much as show!

This sort of vendetta looks more than a little suspicious, with being able to hide behind a screen name.

I think he or she is a disgruntled ex-employee. Maybe it's Tessa Ross!

I’m not doing anything beyond starting a discussion. I’m not an ex employee, rather a loyal NT theatregoer for years who has absolutely hated seeing it descend into indifference since Norris took over. He is the wrong man for the job, though an excellent director in his own right, and I long for him to accept that and go. Moreover, 2017 has been the worst year the NT’s had for some time.

As I said on another thread it is easy to see Norris's failures this year he has also had a lot of critical and financial success in 2017 with Angles in America,Network, Follies,Barbershop Chroniclas, Mosquitoes , Consent and other shows as well as next years season sounding promising with Macbeth already sold out and many other shows that I am personally looking g forward to like Anthony and Cleopatra, the Lehman triology,Julie and others. Yes Norris is still trying o find his feet and he may be doing things that you do not personally like but he is being successful and trying new things .

And as well looking at the facts and figures they are also doing quite well and it is not as bad as some of you are saying www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/about-the-national/key-facts-and-figures

No it isn't.

If you aren't a disgruntled employee/failed auditionee/ignored writer then just go to other theatres. There are enough state supported venues and the same with privately funded ones. There is no shortage of competition for your money. Personally I've never been to the Royal Opera (ENO at times) but don't go on about how it should do more for me personally, that would just annoy those for whom it's a perfectly fine artistic experience.

I would be very disappointed if he did resign. I know it's tough but there used to be a saying that writers should be given "the right to fail" and Norris has stuck his neck out and done just that. When you think about it his programming has been very bold and brave. Those writers who have been given the opportunity will probably go on to do great work - how are new writers to gain the experience of writing for big stages when nobody gives them the opportunity to do so? Most new writers are trained to write for small spaces with limited cast numbers. I didn't enjoy "Common" or "St George" but I felt that both had huge potential and just needed more development before moving to production. However Norris gave those writers a chance (I doubt many will have the same fortune in the future) and I applaud him for doing so.

It’s not my personal taste, rather the diminished status of the NT from an important world venue into it’s current muddle-headedness.

I think there is scope to level some criticism at Norris. His first season was rather too full of Caryl Churchill and Patrick Marber productions and this year has seen some high profile productions be received very badly by both audiences and critics (Common and St George)

To offset this, you can cite the success of Angels, Follies and some others.

However worthy it is to support new writing, as Artistic Director, you have to make sure that the quality of the end result matches the expectations of the audience. And here, I think, there is most scope to ask more of Norris. If a production isn't working in the rehearsal room, sometimes you have to take the bold decision to delay opening or to cancel completely. Allowing something that isn't fully ready to reach the stage at the National is not always the best decision. High profile flops can undermine good work going on elsewhere. Supporting authors is not just about putting their work on stage, it is also about telling them when it isn't good enough and needs reworking or scrapping.

2008-9-13-14 off the top of my head, a few successes but much mediocre fare. This is just my opinion, of course, and many others will have found them to be superior. That's personal taste for you.

Could you list the flops and the hits for those years? A little flesh on the bones of your personal opinion might make it more credible than simply a strangely defensive knee jerk blurt-out.

I’d be happy to do the same for this year.

By the person who started it, no less....

Anyway, up and coming is a list of every in house NT production (as far as I am aware) for each of the years that I mentioned. Now everyone can play the game!
