About this Event

Step back in time at the National Theatre. Our Archive, a treasure trove of documents and objects dating back to opening night in 1963, is opening its stores for a special hands-on event in our Lyttelton Theatre foyers on the South Bank.

Join our Archive team who will present a captivating selection, focusing on how costumes, sets and other backstage elements have shaped our productions over the years.
