National Theatre, London

National Theatre: A showcase of classics and new plays on London's South Bank

Set on the South Bank of the River Thames, the National Theatre stages around 20 productions every year, from old classics to brand new plays. Productions are held in three auditoriums: The Olivier, Lyttelton and Cottesloe theatres, while in the summer the theatre puts on live entertainment in Theatre Square, featuring actors, musicians, dancers, street performers and circus acts. Past productions have included Shakespearean plays to award-winning new shows, created by famous directors and performed by Hollywood actors. The theatre also puts on occasional performances in the West End across the river in London's Soho, as well as dance events at Sadler's Wells and touring productions. Also near to the National Theatre, which has a close connection with Shakespeare, is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, while continuing the trend for the arts, the nearby Southbank Centre houses the Royal Festival Hall and the British Film Institute.
