Singapore’s love affair with NT Live makes perfect sense. The city-state is a cultural crossroads with a highly educated, English-speaking population. Yet, the logistics of flying international casts to the Singapore Repertory Theatre or Victoria Theatre are expensive and logistically complex.
In 2009, the National Theatre launched National Theatre Live, a program that broadcasts live productions to cinemas and theatres around the world. This initiative has been a resounding success, with over 2,500 screenings taking place in 30 countries, reaching an audience of over 1.5 million people. National Theatre Live Singapore is the latest addition to this global network, offering theatre enthusiasts in Singapore the chance to experience the best of British theatre.
