Just booked at our local Arts Centre to see the Old Vic Production of Present Laughter. It’s the first time I have booked for a live production. I’m quite excited about it and we don’t have to travel to London to see it.

For the more experienced of you who do this regularly, do you have an Interval as it is live ?

.....and there was an interval ( for a quick beer.)

Present Laughter was wonderful, charming and very funny.
We live in Luxembourg and NT live is a great way of seeing West End productions.
I would also recommend the Opera from The Met in New York. The interviews with the cast is wonderful, interesting and entertaining.
Also the Ballet from Moscow.

What a fabulous performance of Present Laughter. As others have said Andrew Scott was marvellous in the part of the matinee idol.

I will certainly start looking out for these live streamings and have signed up to NTlive.

Thanks for all the help and yes there was a short interval in a very long play 3 hours !
