Streaming and IG LIVE performance thread

The National have announced their next batch of online productions. Particularly excited to see This House and A Streetcar Named Desire.

Delighted to see they are now including archive recordings in this - Barber Shop Chronicles. Makes me hopeful we might get Mosquitoes and The Welkin at some point. Neither were NT-Lived though the latter was scheduled. 

All in all a very good selection so far. And yes, I really hope they filmed The Welkin and maybe The Visit for the archive at least.

Well the NT stuff is far too highbrow for me but I will certainly watch This House as I believe it was rather good.
Now a request please. As the NT is heavily funded by the tax payer and as a tax payer who does not like heavy drama, can we have a musical please from out of your closet?
Pretty please.

That would be amazing, it was absolutely one of my favourites! Would love the chance to see it again.

Really pleased with that list of announced NT streaming shows! Streetcar was brilliant and I’d quite like to revisit Coriolanus.

I saw Five Easy Pieces at the Unicorn, daring in a way that UK theatre never really is. It took the horrific Marc Dutroux child abductions and had the story re-enacted by children.

I'm annoyed I missed La Reprise, they take them off at midnight. They seem to be repeating some occasionally so I hope we see it again.

In a similarly unsettling manner, the one time comedian turned performance artist Kim Noble has his one man show 'You are Not Alone' streamed by the Münchner Kammerspiele on Saturday. Again you have to be quick because they change them daily. 

This really won't be for everyone but is a highlight of my past theatregoing. 

"18+

Blending performance, comedy and film, Kim Noble tries to get close to other people on this planet. Keith for instance. You maybe.

You Are Not Alone is a provocative, moving and comic production that chronicles one man’s attempts at connection, friendship and employment at B&Q. Kim Noble takes his audience on a journey through tower blocks, supermarkets and Facebook, seeking an escape from the loneliness of modern society. It is an intimate glimpse into the mind of an eccentric genius.

“Noble’s guerrilla theatre piece runs the gamut from the unethical and troubling to random acts of kindness and real tenderness.” **** (The Guardian) "

Free streaming will hopefully pull in a whole new audience to theatres when they reopen, but I'd imagine there are thousands of fans of actors like Cumberbatch, Hiddlestone etc. who would happily pay £10 to have an 'itunes' style copy that doesn't expire after a week. As it is, they are probably recording copies from the stream. 

This production of Streetcar is the 2nd best I have seen in a theatre. I loved every single minute of it. Anderson was phenomenal and one of the best performances I have ever witnessed.

THIS. HOUSE.
FINALLY MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! To see my darling Jack Weatherill again has been a dream since forever...

Also, this quote from exec director Lisa Burger was interesting: "This initiative wouldn't have been possible without the support of a great number of artists for which we are incredibly grateful. We have been absolutely thrilled by the response from viewers enjoying the productions from right across the globe, and we have also been surprised and delighted at the generous donations we've received since closure. Whilst the National Theatre continues to face a precarious financial future, we now feel able to make a payment to all artists involved, as we recognise a great many are also experiencing a particularly challenging time at this moment."

I imagine Curious Incident won't be shown because it's still touring. 

I think we need to expectations in check otherwise it'll just lead to disappointment for whatever NT at Home announces.
