NT Live: 50 Years On Stage | Ratings & Reviews

"A fascinating commemoration that clocks in at more than two hours, this part-performance, part-documentary is nonetheless forced to race through five decades of material at quite a pace. There’s only a smattering of info on the National Theatre’s previous life at the Laurence Olivier-directed Old Vic location before it launches into excerpts from its famously wide spectrum of plays, from Shakespeare to Noel Coward and even Jerry Springer: the Opera, performed by acting stars from past and present."
