| Lyn Gardner lists the Young Vic’s production of Yerma as one of the outstanding productions of the week (Five of the Best, The Guide, 5-11 August), even though the run of this Lorca play is sold out. Gardner points out that there may be a few tickets returned or released at the last minute. But she does not mention that the performance of Yerma on 31 August will be broadcast live to cinemas across the UK (and from 21 September screened internationally) as part of the National Theatre’s wonderful NT Live programme. NT Live has been in existence since 2009, and the equally admirable RSC Live since 2013. So come on, Guardian theatre critics: please include these screenings in your recommendations from now on.
