For the uninitiated, National Theatre Live is a groundbreaking project that broadcasts live performances from the National Theatre in London to cinemas around the world. Since its launch in 2009, it has reached over 10 million people globally.
Because of time zones, you are likely watching a "recorded live" broadcast. However, some special galas or matinees in London (Saturday mornings for them, Saturday evenings for us) are truly screened live. Check the listing: if it says "Live via satellite" at a 2:00 AM timeslot, it’s authentic live. national theatre live singapore
