Vienna: the music capital of the world.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives determined to make a splash.
Awestruck by his genius, court composer Antonio Salieri has the power to promote his talent or destroy his name.
Seized by obsessive jealousy he begins a war with Mozart, with music and, ultimately, with God.
Peter Shaffer’s iconic play premiered at the National Theatre in 1979, winning multiple Olivier and Tony awards before being adapted into an Academy Award-winning film.
In this new production, Lucian Msamati (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) plays Salieri. With live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia.

Connecticut, 1969. On their way back from a party, two couples struggle home through the snow. Not everyone arrives safely...
The great detective writer Georges Simenon escaped France at the end of World War Two, and arrived in the USA to start again. With his American wife, he settled at Shadow Rock Farm in Lakeville. Years later, he wrote La Main, a psychological thriller set in a New England farmhouse. David Hare has taken this novel, and forged from it a startling new play.

This winter, JM Barrie’s much-loved tale takes flight. When Peter Pan, the leader of the Lost Boys, loses his shadow during a visit to London, headstrong Wendy helps him reattach it. In return she is invited to Neverland – where Tinker Bell the fairy, Tiger Lily and the vengeful Captain Hook await.
Following the acclaimed Jane Eyre, Sally Cookson brings her wondrously inventive Peter Pan to the NT after a sell-out run at Bristol Old Vic. Exploring the possibilities and pain of growing up, it’s a riot of magic, mischief, music and make-believe.

Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Independent, Sunday Times
The Young Chekhov trilogy opened to overwhelming acclaim at Chichester Festival Theatre last year and now comes to the National, offering a unique chance to explore the birth of a revolutionary dramatic voice.
Performed by one ensemble of actors, each play can be seen as a single performance or enjoyed together, either over different days or as a thrillingall-day theatrical experience.
PlatonovSchoolteacher Mikhail Platonov has a problem – he’s irresistible to women. Set in the blazing heat of a rural summer, this freewheeling comedy is a cry of youthful defiance against the compromises of middle age.
IvanovNikolai Ivanov is only 35, a radical and a romantic, but already he’s feeling that he’s thrown his life away. He hopes one last desperate romance may save him from becoming a small-town Hamlet. This electric play is powered both by hilarious satire and passionate self-disgust.
The SeagullOn a summer’s day in a makeshift theatre by a lake, Konstantin’s cutting-edge new play is performed, changing the lives of everyone involved forever. Chekhov’s play is both comic and tragic, and marks the birth of the modern stage.

Sean O’Casey by his DaughterFri 9 Sep, 6pm

1717
From November 1915 to Easter 1916, as the rebellion builds to a climax half a mile away, the disparate residents of a Dublin tenement go about their lives, peripheral to Ireland’s history.
Sean O’Casey places a fixed lens to watch as a dozen vivid characters come and go – selfless, hilarious and desperate by turns – while the heroic myth of Ireland is fought over elsewhere.
To mark the centenary of the Easter Rising, Howard Davies, who memorably brought O’Casey’s The Silver Tassie to the NT stage in 2014, now tackles his greatest play.

Dorfman Theatrea new play by Alexi Kaye Campbell
Sunset at the Villa Thalia
April 1967: Greece is in political turmoil. Charlotte and Theo have retreated to a small island in search of peace and inspiration. But when they meet a charismatic American couple at the port they are seduced into making choices with devastating consequences.
This funny and passionate new play by Alexi Kaye Campbell (The Pride, Apologia) spans a decade as it explores the impact of foreign influence, planned and unintentional, on a nation and its people.

HHHHH ‘A landslide success’ Evening Standard
HHHHH ‘Ferociously witty’ Daily Telegraph
1974. The UK faces economic crisis. In the engine rooms of Westminster, arcane traditions linger and a hung parliament looms. It's up to the whips to roll up their sleeves, and shepherd and coerce an unruly chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.
Following two sell-out seasons at the National Theatre, this new production directed by Jeremy Herrin, will transfer to the West End this autumn after an upcoming run at Chichester Festival Theatre.
