Resplendent on London’s South Bank,
The theatre mecca of the nation,
Sir Peter Hall and Laurence Olivier have graced it with their directorial talent,
Its stages lit by the greatest actors of their generation.
Dame Helen Mirren and Sophie Okenedo seduced and dazzled us as Cleopatra,
Daniel Day Lewis and Rory Kinnear played with our conscience as Hamlet, the Danish Prince,
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time & War Horse were visual feasts for the eyes,
Jim Broadbent, in Theatre of Blood terrorised and made us wince.
The National Theatre has stood the test of time,
It continues to enchant, shock, entertain and enthrall,
In esteemed hands with HRH, The Duchess of Sussex as its patron,
The National Theatre is a treasured landmark for the nation and worldwide for all.

- Comment from author about the poem: I like the National Theatre in London and I have been going there since I was a teenager. I always try to go there at least once a year. The last production I saw there was Anthony and Cleopatra this year starring Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okenedo. Brilliant. Here are my thoughts on The National Theatre

I make it a point to visit the theatre whenever I am in London or New York.
I hope the tablet generation doesn't go dumb to this exhilarating experience.
