An excellent service

An excellent service and an excellent value! High quality productions featuring world class talent. Been subscribing for three years, and I never run out of great theater to watch. So grateful for NT@Home!

So thankful for this!

I can’t tell you how much I cherish having access to this amazing art from so far away - I have had the pleasure of seeing National Theatre live, in cinemas, and (blissfully) also at home! I find myself coming back to old favorites as well as checking out the new ones. Thank you for keeping art ACCESSIBLE! ❤️❤️❤️

Live?

A great idea in principle, but the app is clunky, plus downloads don’t work off Wi-Fi.

The Audience

Loved this! Script was very clever and funny. Staging was simple but very effective. Costumes were of the time and beautifully made as always. It’s great to be able to watch quality performances from the comfort of your own home. So glad I joined National Theatre at Home.

Watch great theatre at home

We go to the National Theatre a few times a year but we also subscribe to NTatHome as it means we can more easily watch shows at home as well.

Connection sometimes difficult but productions always top rate

The connection is improving but up to 2025 difficult in some context. However, the quality of filming and of the productions showcased have been uniformly fabulous. We are lucky enough to have been to many plays, including at the National. Seeing these ones on screen is if anything even better than the live experience (and many of the live aspects actually come across on screen from the buzz and atmosphere). I have given it as a special gift to particular friends in USA and would confidently do so for any theatre lovers worldwide, especially if they enjoy the London scene. However, being lucky enough to be in the London scene, we can promise you that this is not a second best. It is a brilliant experience as well, not the same in some respects but even better in others. Thank you!

Such a great resource

I’m so grateful to be able to watch great theater from my home in California. I love the National Theatre but I am not able to get to London as much as I would like, so to be able to watch beautifully created theater from home makes my world so much brighter.

One Man Two Guvnors

Brilliant play with astounding acting by James Corden.

GREAT APP

I’ve recently subscribed to National Theatre Live and have watched four plays and some talk sessions so far. Easy to view on my Samsung Smart TV, lots of content to choose from and regularly updated. Excellent value for money. Very happy to recommend 👍

I love it!

I love it!

Great functionality :: incredible content

What can I say? App works smoothly and casts onto our smart tv or plays on the phone. Great content and regular updates with newer releases too. Incredible value and i say that as someone who lives a 30 min train journey to the theatre. Cannot recommend it enough for anyone anywhere.

Absolutely wonderful!

National Theatre at Home is an absolute gift to the world! The content is of the highest quality and the app is terrific. I have had many wonderful evenings watching plays. Thank you.

Favorite Pastime

Some of my favorite productions are on this app! It’s incredible to have access to these beautiful works of art. I love it so much!

Loving it

Just incredible to be able to see shows I’ve missed at the theatre. I thought it wouldn’t be as enjoyable to watch on a screen but I find the shows as compelling as in the theatre.

National Theatre at Home

I love the selection of plays and musicals. Looking forward to “The Audience” joining the library. Would love for War Horse and Curious Incident to appear too, but loving exploring the shows I haven’t seen. - this app is great and for the monthly price, so worth it. Getting to experience theatre without the crazy ticket prices for trains and the show, plus food. - hours of entertainment. Not the same as being there in person, but def the next best option.

Great service

The quality of the plays is really strong. I’d love more to be on the service for longer, but appreciate this is not straightforward. If you like theatre at a reasonable cost, this is a good option

Theatre from your armchair

I love my National Theatre at home subscription. Great range of plays to choose from too

Best of both worlds

Great theatre when you want it.
It has been wonderful to revisit my favourites and a great introduction to productions I wouldn’t normally watch.
Pure indulgence

Mr Pete

Love the plays and ability to see it all when I’m away on trips

Bravo

A cheap, convenient accessible way to enjoy theatre at home. No, it’s not the same but we don’t all live in that London.
