BIG SCREEN THEATRE
1 Sep - 31 Dec 2024
This is not a cinema – this is the world's greatest stage. It’s a front row seat, the royal circle, a bird’s eye view. It’s the rustling of programmes, the thunderous applause on opening night. It’s the sword fights, the death scenes, the ill-fated lovers. It’s bold, flawlessly executed drama, comedy and tragedy captured in the highest definition. This is theatre how it was always meant to be seen.
VUE broadcast live productions from the National Theatre and more, and use 4K projectors and Dolby surround sound to catapult you into the centre of the stage.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

If the live performance has an interval or two, the broadcast will too. You can stretch your legs or order a drink at the bar
