” Hamlet felt like a bit of a no-brainer with Cumberbatch starring, while The Beaux’ Stratagem is a period piece so it’s really interesting, from our perspective, to see how the colourful costumes and the intricate set will translate in 4K.” “To be able to capture it in the best technology possible means that the life on it would be longer than it would be traditionally,” outlines Keith. Speaking to ScreenDaily, Emma Keith, producer for NT Live, noted that capturing the two productions in 4K will act as “future-proofing”. Hamlet will be transmitted with 4K resolution at 50 frames per second to ensure smooth, realistic reproduction of the action on stage. Prior to Hamlet, Simon Godwin’s 18th Century comedy The Beaux’ Stratagem will be shot in Sony 4K and delivered for exclusive ‘encore’ screenings across Vue’s 84-site estate in September, after the show’s NT Live broadcast on Sept 3.īoth productions will be captured using Sony F-Series 4K cameras which deliver four times the resolution of Full HD. Hamlet is already the fastest-selling show in London’s theatre history. On Oct 15, Lyndsey Turner’s Hamlet, starring Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role, will become the world’s first ever multi-site live 4K transmission in selected Vue cinemas across the UK. National Theatre Live, Vue Entertainment and Sony Digital Cinema 4K have unveiled the next two NT Live productions to be captured in Sony 4K.
