Travelling Light Tickets - Lyttelton Theatre

The Royal National Theatre is generally known as the National Theatre and more commonly as The National in London is one of the UK's two most prominent publicly funded theatre companies, alongside the RSC. Internationally, it is styled the National Theatre Of Great Britain.

From 1963 until 1976, the company was based at the Old Vic Theatre in Waterloo. The current building was designed by architects Peter Softley and Sir Denys Lasdun and contains three stages, which opened individually between 1976 and 1977. It is located next to the River Thames in the South Bank area of central London.

Since 1988, the theatre has been permitted to call itself the Royal National Theatre, but the full title is hardly ever used. The National presents a varied programme, including works from Shakespeare and other international classic drama as well as new plays by contemporary playwrights. Each auditorium in the theatre can run up to three shows in repertoire, thus further widening the number of plays which can be put on during any single season.

In the 2009-2010 season, the theatre began National Theatre Live (NTLive!), a program of simulcasts of live productions to movie theatre venues in other cities, first in the United Kingdom and then internationally. The first season, it broadcast productions of three seperate plays. In the 2010-2011 season, it is adding broadcast productions by other companies, in partnership with both Complicite and the Donmar Warehouse.
