The National Theatre (NT) has announced details of its final season under the directorship of Rufus Norris, who leaves in mid-2025.

The 2024/25 programme will include nine productions on the NT London stages as well as UK transfers to The Lowry, Salford, and Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

Norris’s decade-long tenure has seen the NT programme expand, including outreach to young people. This outreach will continue, with plays being streamed to schools through the National Theatre Collection service, now in its sixth year. The streaming is free for state schools, FE colleges and libraries, and available to purchase by private institutions.

At the start of 2025, the NT will again tour secondary schools, this time with a new play by Bristol playwright Ross Willis and director Ned Bennett; The LeftBehinds depicts a race to save the planet after an apocalypse. The tour will cover 11 areas nationwide, in collaboration with local theatres.
