Theatre nerds, it is time to let out a squeal. It was announced today that BBC Two will be broadcasting a special performance celebrating 50 years of London’s National Theatre, which is set to be directed by Nicholas Hytner.
National Theatre have brought us some amazing shows over the last 50 years, from THE HISTORY BOYS to ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA all the way to GUYS AND DOLLS and ANGELS IN AMERICA. And this special night is set to celebrate all things National Theatre, with a cast of 100.
The stars set to perform at the event include Roger Allam, Simon Russell Beale, Benedict Cumberbatch, Frances de la Tour, Judi Dench, Christopher Eccleston, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Derek Jacobi, Alex Jennings, Rory Kinnear, Adrian Lester, Anna Maxwell Martin, Helen Mirren, Andrew Scott, Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton, with more set to be announced (!!!)
The broadcast is set to air 2nd November, but if you’d like to be there in person (and have a few hundred quid lying around) you can buy Friday preview tickets here.
TV and Theatre Nerd who will always try and give you a good opinion, unless it is something to do with Bloc Party, then it will be completely biased. Favourite films include: HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH, ALMOST FAMOUS AND MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO.
