National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope

22 Sept 2026 - 15 Dec 2026

The Misanthropeby Martin Crimp after Molire directed by Indhu Rubasingham Award-winner Sandra Oh ( Killing Eve ) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molires classic dark comedy. Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimps (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Early Man

27 Aug 2026 - 29 Aug 2026

For the first time since his Academy Award-winning Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Nick Park returns to the director’s chair to bring us his feature-length take on the outrageous antics of our earliest ancestors. Having outlined the project as far back as 2007, and in production since 2015, Early Man brings lovable cavemen and women to the Aardman stable of sheep, chickens and madcap inventors with canine sidekicks. “An unforgettable cast of hilarious new characters…” Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of how plucky caveman Dug, along with new pal Goona and pet sidekick Hognob, unites his tribe against Lord Nooth and his dastardly plans. Nooth and his Bronze Age followers move in on Dug’s tribal homeland and it takes a mighty effort from the Stone Age team to dislodge them by means of a challenge on their home turf. Is Dug mad to think they can beat them at their own game? With an unforgettable cast of hilarious new characters, this is another series of spectacular verbal and visual gags in the Aardman style. Added to which we have the voice talents of Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Timothy Spall, Miriam Margolyes, Richard Ayoade and Rob Brydon and a hugely entertaining – if rather novel – slice of ancient history. As one character asks, “What strange magic is this?”. The answer’s very simple. It’s Aardman magic.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

12 Sept 2026 - 16 Sept 2026

It is the summer before Harry's third year at Hogwarts, and he has heard that it is Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), a renegade wizard, is the Prisoner of Azkaban. What Harry doesn't suspect is that Black has escaped and is coming after him. The third Harry Potter film, with a new director in Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También), and a darker, more complex book to adapt. There is enough dark humour, spectacular effects and appealing performances to keep you trapped in the franchise. But Harry's new adventure is also ponderous and overlong, regular Potter screenwriter Steven Kloves' confusing, rambling, structurally incoherent script, in which characters appear and disappear and plot turns are never realised, keeps the door firmly closed on this private club.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

18 Sept 2026 - 23 Sept 2026

Harry and his mates get busy at the inter-school of magic TriWizard Tournament, only to be faced with the return of evil mastermind Lord Voldemort (Fiennes). Overlong but entertaining enough adaptation of fourth Potter book directed with by Brit Newell.
Fallen Angels by Noël Coward

Fallen Angels by Noël Coward

22 Oct 2026 - 28 Nov 2026

Sparkling, dizzying, and deliciously potent, Fallen Angels, Noël Coward’s champagne-fresh comedy of bad manners, shocked and delighted audiences at its 1925 premiere. Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters. Starring Golden Globe-winner Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) and Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara (The King and I), with Tracee Chimo, Mark Consuelos (making his Broadway debut), Christopher Fitzgerald and Aasif Mandvi, this new Roundabout Theatre and Tony Award-winning production of ‘pure escapist fun’ (The New York Times) was filmed live on stage at Broadway’s Todd Haimes Theatre and now comes to the big screen.

It's the boy-wizard's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where evil forces have released a vicious serpent into the corridors. In line with JK Rowling's book, the second film is darker than the first. It's perhaps somewhat over-long, but the combination of old-fashioned kids' storytelling and blockbuster budget special effects make for something more pleasing than standard Hollywood eye candy.

With Harry's fifth return to Hogwarts comes the realisation that Voldemort's return to power is not the only factor that will trouble him and he is forced to confront a different force that matches his growing pains. Rowling's most complex and uneven book has proven to be the most difficult to adapt. Missing the talents of a big name director this still contains some enjoyable moments courtesy of newcomer Imelda Staunton, playing the latest Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Sadly exposition over action is this film's real undoing.

While the sixth instalment in the Harry Potter franchise does venture into darker, more adult areas than its predecessors it also injects more humour and character development than previous encounters, which doesn't always make for a satisfying concoction. Yates picks up in the aftermath of a spectacular attack on London by Death Eaters and builds towards the death of a key character that will pre-empt the final confrontation between Harry and Lord Voldemort in two-part finale, The Deathly Hallows.
