The National Theatre has today announced further productions that will be streamed live on YouTube every Thursday at 7PM BST via the National Theatre’s YouTube channel as part of National Theatre at Home; the new initiative to bring content to the public in their homes during the Coronavirus outbreak.

On 14 May the NT will stream the never-before-seen archive recording of Inua Ellams’ smash-hit play, Barber Shop Chronicles, a co-production with Fuel and Leeds Playhouse.
Captured at the National Theatre in January 2018 during its second sold-out run at the Dorfman theatre, the production went on to tour internationally including performances at BAM in New York with a return to London’s Roundhouse last Summer.
The play tells the interwoven tales of black men from across the globe who, for generations, have gathered in barber shops where the banter can be barbed and the truth is always telling.
Directed by Bijan Sheibani the cast includes Fisayo Akinade, Hammed Animashaun, Cyril Nri and Sule Rimi.

The 2014 NT Live broadcast of the Young Vic and Joshua Andrews co-production of the Tennessee Williams‘ timeless masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, will be streamed on the 21 May 2020.
As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.
The cast includes Gillian Anderson as Blanche, Ben Foster as Stanley and Vanessa Kirby as Stella.
The production, directed by Benedict Andrews, remains the fastest-selling production in Young Vic history.

The National Theatre production of This House by James Graham will be streamed on 28 May 2020.
Filmed live in 2013, This House is a timely, moving and funny insight into the workings of British politics.
It’s 1974, and Britain has a hung Parliament. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backstabbing as the political parties battle to change the future of the nation.
Jeremy Herrin directs a cast including Phil Daniels, Reece Dinsdale, Charles Edwards and Vincent Franklin.

The Donmar Warehouse production of Coriolanus, staged by former Artistic Director Josie Rourke, will be streamed on the 4 June 2020.
When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too.
In one of the Donmar’s most popular ever productions, Tom Hiddleston plays the title role in Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge.
Cast also includes Alfred Enoch, Deborah Findlay and Mark Gatiss.
All productions will be free and screened live at 7.00PM BST and will then be available on demand for seven days.
