National Theatre Live has reached more than 5 million cinema-goers in 2,000 venues across the world. They have arguably had a role in democratising theatre, by taking star-studded, sell-out productions from London’s West End and from New York’s Broadway to the far edges of the country and beyond. Some of their best received screenings include War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and, their most recent success, Hamlet starring Benedict Cumberbatch; which has seen by 500,000 people, so far, in more than 50 countries.
