NT : What's On : Learning Events : Replay/Reveal - Nation

Replay/Reveal - Nation

Have you ever wondered what goes on backstage during a performance? 

Members of the NT's technical team reveal what happens behind the scenes while the action is replayed on stage.

In order to make NT productions appear as smooth and as slick as they need to, a huge team of backstage staff work an incredible array of complex stage machinery, communicating with each other by radio in a tightly controlled operation.  Replay/Reveal opens up to the public eye all the elements of the performance that you don't usually see, replaying a scene and revealing the secrets of the theatre.
