4 National Theatre Live National Theatre Live is the National Theatre s groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre from the London stage to cinemas. Yerma - Thursday 31st August Please note this broadcast does not have an interval. Billie Piper returns in her Evening Standard Best Actress award-winning role. A young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child in Simon Stone s radical production of Lorca s achingly powerful masterpiece. The unmissable theatre phenomenon sold out at the Young Vic and critics call it an extraordinary theatrical triumph (The Times) and stunning, searing, unmissable (Mail on Sunday). Set in contemporary London, Piper s portrayal of a woman in her thirties desperate to conceive builds with elemental force to a staggering, shocking, climax. Brutal yet ferociously funny - Metro Billie Piper makes a shattering Yerma in Simon Stone s inspired reworking of Lorca - The Observer Young Marx - Thursday 7th December Rory Kinnear (The Threepenny Opera) is Marx and Oliver Chris (Twelfth Night) is Engels, in this new comedy written by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman. Broadcast live from The Bridge Theatre, London, the production is directed by Nicholas Hytner and reunites the creative team behind Broadway and West End hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors and Europe s most feared terrorist is hiding in Dean Street, Soho. Broke, restless and horny, the thirty-two-year-old revolutionary is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, invective, satiric wit and child-like emotional illiteracy. Creditors, spies, rival revolutionary factions and prospective seducers of his beautiful wife all circle like vultures. His writing blocked, his marriage dying, his friend Engels in despair at his wasted genius, his only hope is a job on the railway.
