This publication shares lessons learned through NT Live, the National Theatre's programme of digital cinema broadcasts launched in 2009, which marked the first time the live broadcast of theatre performances had been attempted on this scale in the UK.

The report gives an overview of how the National Theatre developed the project, highlighting some of the key issues to consider, and asks what the future may be for this kind of digital delivery.

There is already an active discussion in the sector on how to use digital media to deliver a performing arts experience. This publication should inform that discussion, and share information that could be applied across a range of projects.
