Hi, folks! This week I started a 7-day trial for National Theatre at Home, and I've made a list of shows I'd like to see. But I'd love your recommendations. I've already watched Vanya (truly fantastic) and All About Eve (okay, mainly). What's good?

Question

Sarah Cooney · Answer

Frankenstein (National Theatre at Home): This was my favorite version of Frankenstein they did, but you MUST watch both--with Jonny Lee Miller as the Creature and with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature. The role-swapping was incredible.

A Streetcar Named Desire (Tennessee Williams): I saw this one live in Brooklyn (and subsequently the NTLive version three times)... it rocked my entire WORLD. I was literally incoherent and speechless for the rest of the day the first time I saw it.

All My Sons: Recently watched this at the cinema, and it was incredible.

I also remember enjoying the abridged romeo and juliet, shot during covid with josh o’connor and jessie buckley.
