A Midsummer Night's Dream, with Gwendoline Christie and Oliver Chris, was captured live from the Bridge Theatre in 2019. -- ‘The course of true love never did run smooth.’ A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious, but dark consequences. Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Oliver Chris (Green Wing, NT Live: Young Marx), David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will build on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre will become a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot. -- Subscribe on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/NationalTheatre Sign up to our monthly newsletter: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/register/nt-news National Theatre TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nationaltheatre National Theatre Twitter: https://twitter.com/NationalTheatre National Theatre Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nationaltheatre National Theatre Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nationaltheatre National Theatre Live Twitter: https://twitter.com/NTLive National Theatre Live Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ntlive -- At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring.

Watch the whole performance now at https://www.rbo.org.uk/tickets-and-events/woolf-works-2017-digital Virginia Woolf's writing defied the order of narrative conventions to depict a heightened, startling and poignant reality. Each of the three acts springs from one of Woolf's landmark novels: Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves – but these inspirations are also woven with elements from her letters, essays and diaries. Woolf Works expresses the heart of an artistic life driven to discover a freer, uniquely modern realism, and brings to life Woolf's world of 'granite and rainbow', where human beings are at once both physical body and unconfined essence. Woolf Works (2015) was Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor's first full-length work for The Royal Ballet. The production was a union of his distinctive choreography with the sensory aesthetic of Virginia Woolf’s modernist writing. Both have broken new ground, a century apart. A stellar creative team and new score by Max Richter, who previously collaborated with McGregor on Infra (2008), challenge us to experience Virginia Woolf's work in a new light.
