Platforms

Platforms have provided an eclectic programme of pre-performance events celebrating all aspects of the arts, offering the chance to learn about the National's work and discover more about theatre in general. Platforms usually start at 6pm and last for 45 minutes. There are occasional afternoon events that have a longer running time.
