National Theatre Live

And Jodie Comer won a Tony and was very well regarded for that.

So, you know, part of me is like, well, maybe I should watch the NT Live recording of Prima Farsi.

But Cynthia Erivo is also pretty good.

And I wouldn't begrudge watching her in that role.

But also in our reach, we have we just announced 18 new shows that we've got so many world premieres.

And then also we're playing out on Broadway through NT Live.

live and NT at home we are reaching I think 184 countries worldwide so there is this extreme reach for the National Theatre because we want to share this magic of theatre share the stories share the wonder and even down to the stories on the Bloomberg Connects app with this sort of many artists and people who aren't just from London and from the UK that's all on the Bloomberg Connects app which is how you can hear these stories if you can't get down to the South Bank to see the installation just outside the theatre that is accessible completely globally so any Anywhere in the world, we want you to engage in the history and we want you to share in the story.

And just finally, finally then, Keturah, do you have a favourite story of those 50, if you can pick?

I think like the amount of people who have their hands on a project.

We have a National Theater Live subscription and I can't remember what show it was, but like it was like a quick change, fasty fast show.

And all the actors come out and they bow and they clap their hands.

And then all the dressers come out and they bow and clap their hands.

yes, and they have a website, and you can...

Oh, NT Live, yes, yes,

yes, yeah.

Yes, and you can saw Andrew Scott, Shakespeare, you can saw, and say, oh, I want to, this kind of thing, I want to do that, because it's so incredible, it's so sophisticated, the writing, the way... and it's very accessible and also very high we don't have really that in France when there is

I think with these theatrical works, when it comes to creating them on the screen, you've kind of gotta meet each of them where they are tonally.

And it's interesting, because I recently had the chance to go behind the scenes at a National Theatre Live recording, and you'll see the results of that any day now.

But their mantra is always to recreate on screen the in-person audience experience as authentically as possible, rather than to try and turn the thing into an independent piece of cinema, and I tend to think that that is what we ought to strive for with these pro shots.

That being said, I do really love that the musicians on stage got featured as heavily as they did.

She's incredibly courageous.

I'm a little bit biased, I think, because the last production, one of the most recent ones I saw was the National Theatre Live version on screen, where Judi Dench played-

Mm

...

I really wanna see, um-

... currently on National Theatre Live

...

I really wanna see Digger as well, that new Ali Andrew Anaritu film.

It's bigger and bigger.

Like it's similar with like the National Theatre Live stuff.

I love that they do that.

Yeah.

I just kinda...

I'm gutted that I don't have an NT Live version-

Yeah

... of, of my productions.
