National Theatre Live (NTLive) is a popular project that live-records unmissable British plays and screens them in thousands of cinemas both in the UK and internationally. For over 15 years, it has delivered "the best seat in the house" to theatre fans worldwide, captivating over 13 million people. Because NTLive films are captured live in front of an audience, preserving the magic of every moment on stage, viewers can get closer to the stage than anyone else, feel the passionate performances of the actors, delve deep into the stories, and enjoy the grand spectacle. In Japan, too, it fully conveys the emotion and excitement born from stages created by leading British creators and actors. Audiences can encounter these gems of British theatre at cinemas in Japan without having to travel to the UK, and with Japanese subtitles, not long after their original run.

NTLive offers a precious opportunity to enjoy the stage performances of British actors who are also active in the film industry, including Hollywood. The three productions to be screened at Hall Soleil in Kagawa Prefecture are all must-sees: "The Fifth Step," starring Martin Freeman, famous for his role as John Watson in the popular TV drama "SHERLOCK"; "Mrs. Warren's Profession," in which Academy Award-winning actress Imelda Staunton co-stars with her real-life daughter for the first time; and "Inter Alia," a new work by Suzie Miller, the Tony Award-winning writer of the global hit "Prima Facie."

Please enjoy these talked-about British plays at a cinema in Japan.
