About

Christmas and book fairs go hand in hand. Accordingly, we have organised, alongside our Christmas rerun of “Blindness”, a theatre book fair. Books are an extension of our stage. They are chapters of the life and work of this National Theatre. We have titles from our back catalog available, which can be purchased with discounts of up to 80%. A back catalog is not a bag of leftovers. Rather, it's a tribute to what's left. A collection of precious items that the voracity for the “new” has removed from circulation. It has books by remarkable authors – Georg Büchner, Peter Handke, Anton Tchékhov, Joe Orton, William Shakespeare, Brian Friel, Samuel Beckett – assisted by exceptional translators – João Barrento, António Pescada, Luísa Costa Gomes, Daniel Jonas, Paulo Eduardo Carvalho. Santa Claus goes to the theatre. Books are great presents, especially at these prices.
