My Country; a work in progress

Tristan & Yseult

Created by NT Artistic Director Rufus Norris and Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy

“I love it with a passion” HHHHH The Guardian

In the days after the EU referendum, the National Theatre began a nationwide project.

“Spectacular yet intimate…”

HHHHH The Times

Interviewers spoke to people around the country – from Leicester to Derry/Londonderry and Merthyr Tydfil to Glasgow – to hear their views of the country they live in, their lives, their future, and the referendum.

King Mark is at war: he rules with his head not his heart. But he hasn’t counted on falling head over heels for his enemy’s sister, or the unexpected arrival of the enigmatic Tristan.

Blending comedy and live music for an irresistible night of love.

Created in collaboration with eight UK arts organisations in association with Cusack Projects Limited.

Out Of Love

By Brad Birch

By Elinor Cook

World Première

World Première

Rebecca and Paul are running away.

Lorna and Grace do everything together. They share crisps, cigarettes and crushes. That's what happens when you're best friends forever.

They’re trying to save their relationship. An isolated house in the country is the perfect place to work things out. They set themselves rules: they have to be honest, they have to listen and they have to be fair.

But you can’t run forever. Especially when you’re being followed.

A tense psychological thriller about betrayal and forgiveness.

A Theatr Clwyd, Paines Plough & Orange Tree Theatre Co-production | Directed by James Grieve

But when Lorna gets a place at university, and Grace gets pregnant, they suddenly find themselves in starkly different worlds. Can anything bridge the gap between them?

A tale of friendship, love and rivalry over thirty years from the award-winning writer of Pilgrims, Elinor Cook.

Meet Fred

The Woman In Black

“The humour here brilliantly black with mordant social and political relevance” ★★★★★ The Herald

"The most brilliantly effective spine-chiller" Daily Telegraph

“A terrifically funny no holds barred subversive satire” ★★★★★ Edinburgh Guide “Meet Fred is an ingeniously conceived, hilarious and truly unmissable piece of theatre.” ★★★★★ Broadway Baby When threatened with losing his Puppetry Living Allowance, Fred’s life begins to spiral out of his control. A sellout show at Edinburgh Fringe 2016, it is “Sharp, funny and vastly entertaining” (Lyn Gardner, The Guardian).

Hijinx Theatre in association with Blind Summit Contains strong language and puppet nudity.

BoHo

Every Brilliant Thing

A new opera based on the play by Gwenlyn Parry

A dystopian musical misadventure

"Heart-wrenching, hilarious..." ★★★★ The Guardian

An intimate story of love and life from the UK’s leading new opera company and the Welsh-language national theatre, based on the work of one of Wales’ most important playwrights.

World première

You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. She finds it hard to be happy.

Exploring the extremes of emotion experienced by two lovers over the course of a lifetime together, Gwenlyn Parry’s acclaimed play is brought to new life in the form of a touching and lyrical new opera by composer Guto Puw and singer-songwriterplaywright Gwyneth Glyn.

David Jones is just another cog in the City’s giant wheel, until one untimely mistake forces him out…to BoHo. BoHo is an exploration of what it means to be good enough, performed by a cast of disabled and nondisabled actors through a vibrant original score, film and words.

A Theatr Clwyd & Hijinx coproduction

You make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for.
