This cover was created with the Lighting Department.
Lighting is used to create moments of stage magic. The choices a Lighting Designer makes about how a set and actors are lit have a major impact on the mood and atmosphere of a scene. The National’s Lighting department deploys everything from flood or spotlight to complex automated lights, controlled via a lighting data network.

In the run up to Christmas, three families are placed into cramped temporary accommodation.
A middle-aged man and his elderly mum, a young family with a baby on the way, a newly arrived woman from Sudan. Strangers. Forced together. No space is personal.
In this new play by Alexander Zeldin, written through a devising process, the audience are invited to bear witness to an intimate story of family love for our times.
Alexander Zeldin’s previous work includes the critically acclaimed, ‘raw’ (Financial Times) and ‘unforgettable’ (The Times) Beyond Caring. LOVE continues this unique approach to theatre.

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 had its premiere 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.

devised by the Companies, based on the works of JM Barrie
HHHHH
‘Something to delight the whole family’ The Times
All children, except one, grow up...
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.
Suitable for 7yrs+

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.

An all-singing, all-dancing examination of life with a cancer diagnosis. This brand new musical confronts the highs and lows of the scariest word we know.
Bryony Kimmings creates fearless theatre to provoke social change. Her collaboration with Complicite looks behind the poster campaigns and pink ribbons at the reality of cancer: waiting rooms and chemo suites, changed bodies, family pressures and financial worries.
Expect big anthems, shiny costumes, blood, tears and real cancer patients in this rip-roaring, heartbreaking celebration of ordinary life and death.
Contains adult themes and strong language.
Commissioned by Complicite.

HHHHH ‘A beautiful, eloquent, dazzlingly inventive show about the wonders of life.’ Evening Standard
Winner of seven 2013 Olivier Awards and five 2015 Tony Awards, including Best Play, this thrilling production has been hailed by The Times as
‘a phenomenal combination of storytelling and spectacle.’
Christopher has an extraordinary brain, exceptional at maths while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.

This House
HHHHH ‘A landslide success’ Evening Standard
HHHHH ‘Ferociously witty’ Daily Telegraph
It's 1974. And Westminster is about to go to war with itself.
Set in the engine rooms of the House of Commons, James Graham's This House dives deep into the secret world of the whips who roll up their sleeves, and occasionally bend the rules, to influence an unruly chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.
Premiered to universal acclaim at the National Theatre in 2012, This House, written by James Graham and directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director Jeremy Herrin will transfer to the West End this autumn.

Lighting is used to create moments of stage magic. The choices a Lighting Designer makes about how a set and actors are lit have a major impact on the mood and atmosphere of a scene. The National’s Lighting department deploys everything from flood or spotlight to complex automated lights, controlled via a lighting data network.
