National Theatre, a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1963 and operates with approximately 1,080 employees. The company specializes in performing arts, functioning as one of the United Kingdom's publicly funded performing arts venues.
On March 16, 2026, National Theatre Director Indhu Rubasingham announced plans for an India expansion, aiming to leverage Bollywood talent. Rubasingham recalled that in 2000, when she brought Shabana Azmi to the National Theatre stage for Tanika Gupta’s play “The Waiting Room,” the institution was unfamiliar with Azmi. Previously, on March 14, 2026, the Olivier and Tony Award®-winning production "The Audience" returned to cinemas for the first time in over a decade. Directed by Stephen Daldry, the play stars Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II, depicting her private weekly meetings with her 12 prime ministers over 60 years.
