National Theatre goes global with 'Phèdre' broadcast
![In his six years as head of the Royal National Theatre, Nicholas Hytner has made a name for himself with his bold moves.

But this past week saw the debut of Hytner's biggest gamble to date: NT Live.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-06/47692453-26153635.jpg "In his six years as head of the Royal National Theatre, Nicholas Hytner has made a name for himself with his bold moves.

'Infamous'
![As writers as diverse as Cervantes and Christopher Marlowe has noted, comparisons are odious, but in the case of "Infamous" and "Capote" they are also inevitable.
