#NightMother at the @Hamps_Theatre is an extraordinary production that touches the deepest, tenderest parts of one’s heart. Stockard Channing and Rebecca Night are masters in this play that is as relevant today as ever. Thank you to all involved for such a moving experience!
@Kombat_Kate It was genuinely incredible! Both the last fight and the assassination of Macduff’s family was some of the most gripping stage combat I’ve seen 🙌🏼
#Macbeth at the @AlmeidaTheatre is an absolute tour de force. The ensemble moves like clockwork, directed masterfully by @yfarber... And shows just how timeless Shakespeare's work can be. Shout-out to the stellar fight direction by @Kombat_Kate. Standing ovation to all involved!
‘Squid Game’ creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote the show in 2009 but was rejected by studios for 10 years.
He once had to stop writing the script + sell his $675 laptop due to money struggles.
Today, it’s #1 in 90 countries + set to become the most-watched show in Netflix history.
@kaetempest's Paradise at the @NationalTheatre is beautifully written and powerfully performed by this absolutely outstanding cast. Shout out to @gloriaobianyo who was brilliant as Neoptolemus!
A beautifully dark comedy: The Memory of Water. Another incredible revival of a @Hamps_Theatre premiere, 25 years later... Thank you to director @HamiltonAl and the whole cast for a phenomenal show!
'You actually think you've made it to the top because of innate talent, don't you?!' 😂
Diana (Lindsay Duncan) calls out Robin (Alex Jennings) for his sexist remarks on Margaret Thatcher.
Hansard is now streaming worldwide with #NationalTheatreAtHome.
What a fantastically strange and brilliantly performed play. Still haunting me a day later like an unsettling dream. Catch #HTTwoCharacter@Hamps_Theatre if you can. Kate O'Flynn and Zubin Varla are stunning in this hypnotic exploration of madness and isolation.
'The civility and care and heartbeat of a society can be judged by the value with which the artistic community is held and supported.'
Paradise's Lesley Sharp on society healing after the pandemic and making thrilling theatre in its wake.

What a wild psychological ride seeing #TheTwoCharacterPlay at the @Hamps_Theatre... Easily the most challenging and experimental production I've seen since the reopening of Theatres. Thank you to @SamYates2020 and the whole cast for a truly inspiring show!
Break a leg to David Thewlis and @danielmays9 on their final performance of #OVTheDumbWaiter tonight!
What a way to open our building - thank you to everyone who came to see it in person and tuned in live from around the world. #OVInCamera#OVBackTogether
"Nature gives her warnings
But the men don’t watch the play.
They watch the pictures in their minds instead
As is their way."
The all-female cast of #NTParadise by @kaetempest have begun rehearsals ahead of their August opening.

What an amazing experience finally being back @The_Globe to see As You Like It. Thanks to the entire cast, and shout-out to @ErnestEmma who was phenomenal as Rosalind!
Was left quite speechless after seeing this mesmerising show, full of humanity and hope. Thank you @HeadlongTheatre and @NationalTheatre, cast and crew 🙏🏻
