Experience Cinema at The Rep - with NT Live
Theatre can often be described as cinema come to life on stage. So, it would make sense that cinema would be theatre on screen, right? So join us this 2024/2025 season, as today we announce three additional productions designed to give our audiences the thrills, chills (and giggles) of being in the cinema or even taking a peek behind the scenes of blockbuster history (*popcorn not included).
This Autumn, The Rep will be hosting two critically acclaimed National Theatre Live productions for the Midlands, in The Studio, which is fitted with cutting-edge lighting and sound equipment as well as a cinematic quality screen.
