With state-of-the-art filming techniques, tailored to every play, the National Theatre bring you each performance as it happens, in all its glory. From close-ups that capture every flicker of emotion, to sweeping wide shots of the stage. The Princess Theatre and Arts Centre will start their National Theatre’s Live performance season with Romeo & Juliet. This critically acclaimed bold new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way. Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Judy) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country) play Juliet and Romeo. The award-winning cast includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati and Deborah Findlay. Romeo and Juliet will be screened on Tuesday 5th October at 7pm, tickets are £16 and £14 for members.

NT Encore: Follies tickets The Princess were lucky enough to achieve funding through the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund to be able to equip the theatre with film facilities. Beccy Armory, the programming lead at The Princess says, “we are so pleased to be able to present National Theatre productions to our audiences. The work that comes out of the National is world class and now we can show this work to our community via the wonders of technology.” “When we started plans to bring film to The Princess, we reached out to the Ritz to discuss how we could work alongside and complement each other. We all agreed that culture is good for Burnham and Highbridge and that our work as programmers is to develop audiences across the area and promote cohesion.” Latest news 18th Nov 2021 The Princess Theatre Tickets Black Friday 2021 sale arrives 26th… Find Out More 28th Oct 2021 We are delighted to announce three new NT Live productions that will be… Find Out More 27th Sep 2021 National Theatre Live brings the best of British theatre to… Find Out More 28th Jul 2021 Finally the Princess reopened her doors on 7th June 2021… Find Out More Princess Street, Burnham‑on‑Sea, Somerset, TA8 1EH Keep up to date 01278 784464 info@theprincesstheatre.co.uk About us Staff History Management Committee Friends Join us Volunteering Become a Member Opportunities Box Office Monday - Friday 11am - 4pm Supported by © Copyright Princess Theatre and Arts Centre | All Rights Reserved | Terms & Conditions | Privacy Policy Site designed and built by
