Snippets from a glorious 50 years - National Theatre Live: 50 Years on Stage review by JS
Just what the doctor ordered - snippets of many, many productions from over 50 glorious years of the NT.
Also great to see so many of the established greats on stage alongside newcomers - highlights include Gambon and Jacobi in a Pinter two-hander and Lester with Kinnear reprising their electric chemistry for Othello.
When watching, there's no real need to bed in for the entire duration - dip in and out and enjoy some tremendous theatre.
