The National Theatre stages up to 30 productions at their South Bank home each year, ranging from new productions of classics to new work. The National Theatre is committed to nurturing innovative work from new writers, directors, creative artists and performers. The National's work is also seen on tour throughout the UK and internationally, and in collaborations and co-productions with regional theatres. Popular shows transfer to the West End and occasionally to Broadway; and through the National Theatre Live programme, performances are broadcast live to 2,000 cinemas in 50 countries around the world.
