Leave a Review National Theatre at Home
A great resource for audio described theatre at home
I discovered this app quite late on, but have been getting a lot of use of it out of the last few days. It offers great access to audio described and British sign language theatre performances of a very high quality at an incredibly reasonable monthly or annual price. The app works really well with VoiceOver, there are a few minor issues but once you get used to the app they are easy to get around. Highly recommendedShow lessBlindSaddler
Content is great, UI needs improvement.
Love the breadth of content and branching out into partner productions like The Little Big Things. Great production values on all the shows. However, UI and UX leaves something to be desired. Endless scrolling, the list of plays in “All Plays” is not actually all plays. I keep finding others in different menu options. Talking of menu, it needs a menu at the top with genres to make searching easier. All Plays, NT, Partners, then sub headers such as Comedy, Shakespeare, drama, features and interviews, etc. I spend my time trying to find something that I previously found in an obscure place and then can’t find it again unless I saved to favourites. Love the content but please make it easier to find a play.Show lessChilloutpeople
Loving National Theatre at home
I really enjoy seeing plays in the theatre but as I don’t live in London can’t get to see many as unless they tour to our local theatre or are on in the cinema. I have found National Theatre at home a great way to watch plays which I would otherwise not get to see. The selection is very interesting & diverse, and I’m finding it a great way to get more familiar with Shakespeare plays. Great value for money.Show lessMumblani
My saviour during lockdown
I’m a regular visitor at the national theatre. This app was a life saver. Although I miss live theatre this is a wonderful replacement especially when I’m travelling. I also get to see plays that missed for one reason or another. Please keep it going. Thank you for this wonderful app.Not veve
There Is Here
I thank you.
I have enjoyed many productions from your world in mine.
It began with A Midsummer Night’s Dream and I am watching The Little Big Things a second time.
I also enjoyed a children’s show centering around a red hat. That was a great deal of fun.
Angels In America was breath taking, I had taught the play in Authors of the Theater and shared with them the HBO version. Your Angels was as if I knew nothing of the play and was off on an adventure.
I watched one of the versions of Conversations.
I am a retired Theater professor and this is a present for myself and for those I am lucky to share it with.
The Little Big Things is very moving. I grew up with a mother who had had polio when she was young and spent most of her life on crutches until she needed a wheelchair for movement.
One of the things about The Little Big Things that I love is how many people are a part of the production who might not be in a production.
Thank you for sharing your world.
There is applause and tears and laughter on a different continent because you share your theater.
When you do, your theater becomes everyone’s theater. I may not be sitting in your theater but my heart is there - figuratively. I am thankful and blessed.
I wish you all the best,

Theatre experience in your living room
I got the app as soon as it came out, having enjoyed the free at home performances during the pandemic so much. I miss the theatre and although I can catch local performances have accepted that my chances to see top performances like this live are likely to be few. I like to ‘book’ an evening with a performance and make it a home treat with a glass of wine, some snacks and a chair pulled up close. No, you don’t get the theatre experience (or cinema which I did for a while) but you don’t have to ruin your mood searching for a car parking place, have no other heads in front of yours and can pause to go refill your glass. I have also watched performances I don’t think I ever would have booked to go and see, writing them off as ‘not for me’. This app has been a lifeline and an education. Treat yourself to some amazing performances and experiences and don’t limit yourself to what you think you will like.Show lessWordpie
Love it
Absolutely love it. As a theatre nerd I love being able to see some of the shows I’ve only heard about or read.melody tryler
National Theatre at home
I love how accessible the National Theatre have made theatre, no matter where in the world you are. It is wonderful to be able to watch plays that I would never otherwise get to experience, living in NZ. It is world class theatre in my living room - amazing!Sallypugh
I love the National Theatre app
I feel privileged to be able to sit in comfort in my house in the mountains west of Sydney and watch the fantastic plays available through the National Theatrestavrossd
National Theatre at Home
Best streaming app ever. Was a lifesaver when theatres were closed during COVID-19. Thanks for bringing me the best actors on stage in the world into my house.
I am a big fan of plays and love your app so much. I’ve been a subscriber since you started.
Unfortunately, you have a big problem with Vimeo- your customer technical support service.
Your customer help is totally incompetent, you should investigate this by doing some empirical research amongst subscribers who have used the Help - Contact Us facility and ask them to comment on Vimeo: the service provider you use. I think you need a new customer service provider.
Even thinking about their uselessness, ignoring what the problem is, not solving anything and just giving you the runaround with computer generated material that in no way relates to your personal problem makes me angry and immensely frustrated but I will keep hassling them until a human being is available to solve my playback problem that occurs with one and only one full play - Julius Caesar. It is clearly a fault on your app and needs to be fixed by you. But after 5 days and 4 emails no one has taken any notice of what the problem is.
This is simply not good enough. A standard computer generated response not tailored to the individual problem is not what I expect when I ask for help.
