Королевская семья разваливается на части: король убит, его коварный брат взошел на трон. Принц Гамлет, впавший в отчаяние, вынужден мстить за смерть своего отца — и сложившаяся при дворе ситуация ставит под угрозу не только безопасность всей страны, но и рассудок принца.

Academy Award® nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List, Oedipus at the National Theatre) plays Jack Tanner in this exhilarating reinvention of Shaw’s witty, provocative classic. Jack Tanner, celebrated radical thinker and rich bachelor, seems an unlikely choice as guardian to the alluring heiress, Ann. But she takes it in her assured stride and, despite the love of a poet, she decides to marry and tame this dazzling revolutionary. Tanner, appalled by the whiff of domesticity, is tipped off by his chauffeur and flees to Spain, where he is captured by bandits and meets The Devil. An extraordinary dream-debate, heaven versus hell, ensues. Following in hot pursuit, Ann is there when Tanner awakes, as fierce in her certainty as he is in his. A romantic comedy, an epic fairytale, a fiery philosophical debate, Man and Superman asks fundamental questions about how we live.

Acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) returns to the National Theatre with his highly-anticipated new play The Hard Problem, directed by Nicholas Hytner (Othello, Hamlet, One Man, Two Guvnors). Hilary, a young psychology researcher at a brainscience institute, is nursing a private sorrow and a troubling question at work, where psychology and biology meet. If there is nothing but matter, what is consciousness? This is ‘the hard problem’ which puts Hilary at odds with her colleagues who include her first mentor Spike, her boss Leo and the billionaire founder of the institute, Jerry. Is the day coming when the computer and the fMRI scanner will answer all the questions psychology can ask? Meanwhile Hilary needs a miracle, and she is prepared to pray for one.

On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant, a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died.

На протяжении 60 лет королева Елизавета II проводила в Букингемском дворце серию аудиенций для каждого из девяти премьер-министров Великобритании. Существует негласное правило для обеих сторон о неразглашении подробностей бесед этих встреч. «Аудиенция» нарушает это правило и представляет ряд предполагаемых диалогов между королевой и премьер-министрами, от Черчилля до Кэмерона. Первую аудиенцию королева провела, будучи совсем молодой. Эти частные встречи очерчивают вторую Елизаветинскую Эпоху. Политические деятели приходят и уходят, а королева остается – в ожидании следующего премьер-министра.
