National Theatre at Home reviews
4.6 out of 5, based on 1,271 reviews.
What people like
- High quality acting and staging
- Great value compared to tickets
- Watch shows from anywhere
What they complain about
- Hard to cast to TV
- App feels clunky and buggy
- No easy way to cancel
Blown away! But why can’t I afford live theatre anymore?
These performances are, of course, top class. The staging, the lighting, the pace: enough to take my breath away. But I last went to the National Theatre in my twenties. My late father had the tickets as a journalist perk. That was forty years ago. As a lifelong teacher, I’ve not been able to afford it since! What are you doing to make sure ambassadors for live theatre, ordinary people, the rest of us(basically)can experience the part this wonderful app cannot? The ability to turn one’s head and gaze and gasp at the wonder of live performance on stage?
Issues With Apple TV
The app plays content on my Apple devices (iPhone and iPad), but I can neither screencast to my television screen, nor does the app play from my Appletv box. So it can only be watched on smaller devices.
Connection sometimes difficult but productions always top rate
The connection is improving but up to 2025 difficult in some context. However, the quality of filming and of the productions showcased have been uniformly fabulous. We are lucky enough to have been to many plays, including at the National. Seeing these ones on screen is if anything even better than the live experience (and many of the live aspects actually come across on screen from the buzz and atmosphere). I have given it as a special gift to particular friends in USA and would confidently do so for any theatre lovers worldwide, especially if they enjoy the London scene. However, being lucky enough to be in the London scene, we can promise you that this is not a second best. It is a brilliant experience as well, not the same in some respects but even better in others. Thank you!
Live?
A great idea in principle, but the app is clunky, plus downloads don’t work off Wi-Fi.
Some of the best Theater I’ve Ever Seen
During the pandemic, the National Theatre streamed shows from their archives for free. Seeing these amazing performances helped keep me sane during that crazy time. After that, I got myself a subscription to National Theatre, Live at Home and it’s been amazing! New plays, Shakespeare, the Greeks, Family Shows: NTLive has everything.
A no brainer
I love National Theatre Home. Once or twice a month I sit down at home to watch an amazing piece of theatre on a big tv. I’ve seen plays and musicals I’ve always meant to see but never quite managed to. I’ve seen shows I’ve never heard of and been blown away.
Awful!
Would only replay in phone, refused to context to Mac or TV. Help sections did not work. What a money spinner.
National Theatre at Home
I love the selection of plays and musicals. Looking forward to “The Audience” joining the library. Would love for War Horse and Curious Incident to appear too, but loving exploring the shows I haven’t seen. - this app is great and for the monthly price, so worth it. Getting to experience theatre without the crazy ticket prices for trains and the show, plus food. - hours of entertainment. Not the same as being there in person, but def the next best option.
Can’t rent only subscribe
The app only offers the option to subscribe but I just want to rent a play. This can only be done from the website and not the app
Not user friendly
I am on a limited income and this influences what I can watch and you do not mention prices with the advert apps.
The Audience
Loved this! Script was very clever and funny. Staging was simple but very effective. Costumes were of the time and beautifully made as always. It’s great to be able to watch quality performances from the comfort of your own home. So glad I joined National Theatre at Home.
Waste of time
Cannot cast from iPad to smart tv. I can’t waste anymore of my life on this unwatchable app
All My Sons
Excellent production
Doesn’t work with Chromecast!
In spite of the description... Content is fantastic, though!
Watch great theatre at home
We go to the National Theatre a few times a year but we also subscribe to NTatHome as it means we can more easily watch shows at home as well.
Con
I cannot cancel my subscription!!! No way of doing it’ I can’t believe it and cannot connect to anyone to do it
Theatre!
So fun to see high quality recordings of productions when seeing a live performance is difficult to fit in! Platform works well! Only critique is I want more! Please add more productions in different genres!
One Man Two Guvnors
Brilliant play with astounding acting by James Corden.
Good idea poor execution
Blocks you mirroring to your tv so hard to watch and expensive to rent
Great productions
I love being able to see productions from Australia but am confused that I can see some shows in cinemas before streaming and some are FREE on U tube why is that ?
GREAT APP
I’ve recently subscribed to National Theatre Live and have watched four plays and some talk sessions so far. Easy to view on my Samsung Smart TV, lots of content to choose from and regularly updated. Excellent value for money. Very happy to recommend 👍
Does not work and when it doesn’t work they refuse to refund
Please be very careful to check your set up before purchasing a National Theatre at Home subscription, especially the annual one. Unless you have a very modern, and secure and specific set up, then neither the app nor the online service will work with your TV. This is what the tech suppport finally confirmed: “High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed to prevent copying of digital audio & video content as it travels across connections. If your setup is not HDCP compliant, the following may occur: The video player will display an error Playback may be limited to audio only or video only In most cases, the video won’t play at all You will be stuck on a black screen If you're connected from a HDCP compliant device, for example, you shouldn't have any issues viewing the content. However, if you connect that same device to a TV, then your device, the TV, and the cable connecting the two devices must all be HDCP compliant in order for you to view video through our website and/or apps.” None of this is clear when you go to their website and NT at home have a policy that all subscriptions are non refundable even if they don’t work. It’s effectively a scam that takes your money and delivers no service at all unless you have a HDCP compliant device.
Great platform. I love it
I just wish it would be more adaptable to low internet and buffers less. It should be more seamless to view like Netflix.
Great functionality :: incredible content
What can I say? App works smoothly and casts onto our smart tv or plays on the phone. Great content and regular updates with newer releases too. Incredible value and i say that as someone who lives a 30 min train journey to the theatre. Cannot recommend it enough for anyone anywhere.
Unable to use
Unable to use subscription from Google on iPhone. I’m not going to pay twice for this.
What a gift - superb performances
Thank you National Theatre at Home for providing a portal during and pandemic, and beyond, to magnificent performances!
Absolutely wonderful!
National Theatre at Home is an absolute gift to the world! The content is of the highest quality and the app is terrific. I have had many wonderful evenings watching plays. Thank you.
Worst App
This app is THE WORST, it’s so difficult to use I might not renew. For Gods sake UPDATE YOUR APP!! FIX THIS APP, it’s IMPOSSIBLE!! I told you I would NOT renew and I didn’t!
I want my hat back
I’m always intrigued and interested to see how a show is presented. This was quite delightful. The small cast was terrific and I loved the bear and the naughty rabbit. The set (or Not Set), the stage space, was used so well with simple props and techniques. It really encourages the audience to be actively involved in the performance. Loved the kids comments. Sometimes the filming made the set look a bit dark or shadowy but only a small issue. I would have loved to be there with my younger grandkids..
Loving it
Just incredible to be able to see shows I’ve missed at the theatre. I thought it wouldn’t be as enjoyable to watch on a screen but I find the shows as compelling as in the theatre.
If only zero stars were an option
Does not cast to the tv and you can’t stream on a fire stick. $130 for absolutely nothing.
Great performances.
Fantastic theatre with great casts. Well worth it.
Great service
The quality of the plays is really strong. I’d love more to be on the service for longer, but appreciate this is not straightforward. If you like theatre at a reasonable cost, this is a good option
Unable to sign on from other devices
Stupid app
From Abroad
How fantastic is it that I get to watch great drama with great actors as if I lived in London and not in Australia! I love the idea of buying single plays rather than a subscription but not sure if that is offered now. The recordings from the archives are real gifts. Thank you.
