Help ensure that drama is part of every child's education

National Theatre Collection Appeal

On 30 September 2019, we launched our new online education platform National Theatre Collection, which will enable us to stream NT Live broadcasts and rarely seen production recordings from our London archive directly to classrooms, libraries and universities around the world.  
 

We will provide NT Collection to every state school in the UK for free, and offer access to international organisations via a subscription service, ensuring drama plays a part in every child’s education.

With your help, we will expand the range of productions available on the platform and increase its reach so that, by March 2022, millions of young people will be watching our productions in UK classrooms.

We hope you will consider supporting this project by making a donation. Every penny you give will make it possible for us to keep sharing our productions with UK state schools for free.

 

‘...we believe that accessibility to theatre is of paramount importance and by expanding our offer internationally, we are able to maintain our free streaming service to state schools across the UK, ensuring that drama remains an integral part of a broad education....’

Lisa Burger, Executive Director, National Theatre
