and the game is on
Мы тут вчера ходили на National Theatre 50 Years on Stage в кино, хотя всё это уже доступно на всех треккерах мира. Приобщились к прекрасному. Прекрасного было много.

Из программки (на 45 страниц!) с краткой историей театра и воспомининиями о нём актёров и работников.

Вспоминает Алан Беннет.
I remember coming off after a performance of Down Cemetery Road in the Cottesloe and en route for my dressing room meeting Judi Dench and her attendants bound for the Olivier stage. “Not many laughs tonight”, I said. “None at all with us” she replied but since she was appearing in Antony and Cleopatra this was hardly surprising. There was one unscheduled laugh one night, though, as it was while she was appearing as Cleopatra that she was made a Dame. On the evening in question Michael Bryant, playing Enobarbus, turned upstage and muttered en passant, “Well, I suppose a fuck’s quite out of the question now”, an extra-textual remark, such was his never other than immaculate diction, that was heard by the first ten rows.
