The National Theatre will be releasing a series of new interviews via YouTube. The interviews, recorded live on the Lyttelton stage, will start on Thursday 22 April, with a chat between Oscar Award-winner Olivia Colman and NT artistic director Rufus Norris. The pair previously worked together on their 2017 hit play Mosquitoes.

New episodes will be released every Thursday and will feature stars such as Meera Syal, Adrian Lester, Josh O’Connor, and Jessie Buckley.

Norris said: "We are thrilled that as we look ahead to our reopening in June, we are able to launch Life in Stages. The interview series has been a fantastic way to take a moment and reflect; to explore the careers of some of the leading figures within our industry, and to consider how the world around us will shape the work we create as we move forwards. We are so grateful for the time generously given by the artists involved and to Charles Stanley for their support."
