Ohhh let us non members how it looks please, I've been wanting to see Othello again for ages so good to know it's an option, otherwise I'd be hoping for quite a bit more to be added, the archive stuff gives it an extra excitement level.

It is mentioned in the faqs section. Thanks - I tried searching the Roku's Vimeo for National Theatre at Home but nothing came up. I can watch on my computer but I'd like to be able to screen it through the telly so mum can watch. The archive recording of Mosquitoes is good quality - the sound's a bit variable and it doesn't have the NT Live TV-style editing / shots but it's great to see it again. |

I raved over Medea and Othello. I’m a bit concerned about having to pay- obviously I will when i want to after free month - but some kids would like to see this stuff and will the parents let them? Maybe to keep them out of their hair for a while. I remember seeing theatre stuff, poorly filmed but brilliantly acted on the telly when I was a young teenager. It was usually and luckily put on the night my parents went out. So I could gorge in peace ( only one screen then, folks, the family telly in corner of living room) so I would hate to think of a kid like me missing out on this stuff so tantalisingly close, spesh the poor little ones who don't live in London as I didn’t then. How come? Disappointed to find that I cannot use my ticket credits from £350 worth of cancelled shows cannot be used to sign up for this service. Just had confirmation from the Box Office that they can only be used for live performances. They're separate businesses. Like trying to spend Asda vouchers in Wallmart. |

Sorry - that was weird! My reply failed to post - just the quote! I said: As the Box Office explained to me. So that is why I said I was disappointed not that I was cross. As I am shielding (well - I was, then I wasn't and now it seems I am again!) I am advised not to go out more than absolutely necessary so live theatre is out for a bit.

Wow. This is fab. The picture & sound quality certainly varies massively between those plays originally recorded for the cinema, and those for the archive, but it's a wonderful way to see some old productions again.
Hopefully they get enough of an audience to make it worthwhile, and keep putting up great productions. What's everyone else hoping for in the coming months? For me, the top of the list would be to see The Flick and An Octoroon again (although the former may suffer from watching in the living room), Angels in America, and would love to see the NT's production of Dark Materials.
I now suspect that I'm signed up to way more streaming services that any single household could reasonably get through...

Just when I’d finally repressed all memories of the Big Dishwasher Dance Number.

Anyone tried this yet? I seem to join a new streaming service every lockdown, so looking at this one now!

I got gifted a six month membership and logged on the other day. Whirred a lot on the platform i was on so swapped to chrome and worked fine. Not an enormous amount available currently and a fair amount of that was previously available elsewhere. I will watch Othello but now in that stage of thinking 'what if it isn't as good as i remember'.

After the free introductory month, it seems I've now been debited for January. Also wondering what to watch first ... and currently leaning towards Othello ...

Fantastic! I was nervous that, if there's not enough people signing up then NT might lose interest in this, but they've just added a few new plays to the site: Antigone, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, and Angels In America parts 1 & 2. They all look good and I'm especially glad for the opportunity to see Angels again.
