Those who enjoy our live streamed events will be delighted to see the range we have this season. This autumn we will be bringing you the world's best opera from some spectacular venues, one of which is La Traviata from the opening night of La Scala’s 2013/14 season.

We also have the new RSC Live from Stratfordupon-Avon programme, starting with the sell-out production of Richard II starring David Tennant, and for fans of popular music we bring you Morrissey: 25 Live, his sell-out gig recorded earlier this year at Hollywood High School.

National Theatre Live is to screen two of the plays that were broadcast before we were able to take part in live streaming: Alan Bennett’s The Habit of Art and the much acclaimed Hamlet, directed by Nicholas Hytner.

If comedy is your thing we have three top name stand-ups to tempt you. Phill Jupitus brings us his hit show You’re Probably Wondering Why I’ve Asked You Here; the Cornish funny man Jethro takes to our stage; and rounding off the year we have the hilariously funny Alastair McGowan.

Pioneer collectors of Impressionism

Speaker: Oliver Fairclough, Keeper of Art National Museum Wales Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, the granddaughters of a Welsh coal baron, formed an extraordinary collection of European modern art between 1908 and 1923, which they later bequeathed to Amgueddfa Cymru: National Museum Wales. In the years leading up to the First World War they were among a handful of British patrons to interest themselves in the work of the French impressionist painters, especially Monet, and in the sculpture of Rodin, completing their collection with great paintings by Cézanne and Van Gogh. This talk introduces the collection, and explores the sisters’ motivation and method as collectors. £6.50 Oscars

After lunch (at 2pm) Michael Page profiles Thomas Vernon, a man of property in 18th century Ludlow. The next speaker is Jean Brown, whose subject is religion in Victorian Ludlow and the day ends with David Trumper talking about the town in 1960, concluding at 4.45pm. *St Thomas’s Chapel, Dinham will be open to delegates between 1pm and 6pm, by kind invitation of its owner, Mrs Camilla Caldwell.

The National Theatre presents a major new production of William Shakespeare’s celebrated play about the destructive power of jealousy.

Me, Myself and Miss Gibbs In 2003, Francesca bought a second hand postcard for 50p. The postcard, sent from Lincoln to London was addressed to a Miss L Gibbs. The message reads: ‘Be Careful Tomorrow. A.C.’ Part detective noir, lecture and personal biography, Francesca investigates the message on a postcard sent 100 years ago, becoming obsessed by the life of the woman who received it. What happens when she starts tracing another’s history? And why did Miss Gibbs have to be careful tomorrow?

In Me, Myself and Miss Gibbs Francesca takes the audience with her on this intricate, amusing and fascinating journey, gently questioning how we remember those who went before us and how we might like to be remembered ourselves.

Ludlow Ludlow Drive Around Drivearound A clue hunt in the countryside surrounding Ludlow

Find clues at 20 specified points on a circular tour of Ludlow, encompassing rural scenes and spectacular views to take your breath away. Visit ancient churches, find out what a toposcope is, discover who won a VC at Gallipoli in 1915 and much more…a wonderful taster of the countryside surrounding Ludlow and its history.

Driving distance is approximately 42 miles and the tour takes roughly 4 hours, allowing time at each point to find the clues; it’s a great day out and well worth the time.

Do it when you want to, any time, all year round.

The adventures of Cervantes’ bumbling knight have been the inspiration for many ballets, best-known of which is the Don Quixote of Marius Petipa, with music by Ludwig Minkus. All the elements of the great classical ballets are here: emotion, drama and vivid characters. Royal Ballet Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta has danced the virtuoso role of Basilio many times, so it is especially exciting that he is creating this new production for The Royal Ballet. The music, full of Spanish flair and atmosphere, with a characteristic clarity of melody and rhythm that makes it so instantly appealing, is arranged by Martin Yates, who also conducts.

Drivearound pack £5.00 – available from Box Office. Pack includes complete directions, clues, points of information e.g. available facilities on the tour and answers.

The Habit of Art

National Theatre Live’s 2010 broadcast of Alan Bennett’s acclaimed play, starring Richard Griffiths, Alex Jennings and Frances de la Tour, is streamed as part of the National Theatre's 50th anniversary celebrations.

Bennett’s play of the imagined meeting between Benjamin Britten and his former collaborator and friend W H Auden, is as much about theatre as it is about poetry or music.

Looking at the unsettling desires of two difficult men and the ethics of biography, it reflects on growing old, creativity, inspiration and on persisting when all passion is spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.

17 years since its world premiere, Guy Masterson’s magnificent solo performance of Orwell’s classic satire is on its final UK tour. Using nothing but a bale of hay, some amazing sound effects and brilliant physical and vocal dexterity, Masterson ignites this famous yarn, bringing a modern sinister relevance to Orwell’s masterwork.
