Whilst the security restrictions are in place, the National Theatre in London is uploading some of its past plays. Every Thursday evening there is a new show to watch for one week.
Until tomorrow evening, you can watch Inua Ellams’ Barber Shop Chronicles: "Newsroom, political platform, local hotspot, confession box, preacher-pulpit and football stadium. For generations, African men have gathered in barber shops to discuss the world."

The next play available will be Tenesse Williams’ classic A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Gillian Anderson, streaming from Thursday 21 May until 28 May. We highly recommend!
