Watch All About Eve the play with National Theatre at Home.

Gillian Anderson (A Streetcar Name Desire) and Lily James (Mamma Mia!) lead in All About Eve.

Margo Channing. Legend. True star of the theatre. The spotlight is hers, always has been. But now there’s Eve. Her biggest fan. Young, beautiful Eve. The golden girl, the girl next door. But you know all about Eve...don’t you?

Directed by Ivo van Hove (Hedda Gabler, A View From The Bridge) and captured from London’s West End. All About Eve lifts the curtain on a world of jealousy and ambition, and asks why our fascination with celebrity, youth and identity never seems to get old.

Filmed by National Theatre Live.
Presented by Sonia Freidman Productions.
