Carey Mulligan performs a Dennis Kelly script, under Lyndsey Turner’s direction. I’ll just let that sentence sink in for a moment. It sounds brilliant, right? Well it is, and this dream offering from the Royal Court does not disappoint.

The other week I went to see the National Theatre’s revival of David Hare’s Skylight, starring Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan and the lesser known but exceptionally talented Matthew Beard. I drove just 2 minutes to get to the show, sat in some great seats and saw a fantastic performance. I do not live in London, I do not know someone “in the biz” or have a spare £148.50 to spend on a ticket. The show was being beamed to me in Kent, live from Wyndham’s Theatre for less than the price of a train ticket to London by NT Live.
