Some more international theatres getting their act together.
La Comédie Française is doing stuff under the rubric La Comédie continue! A number of items every day including old productions, though it's not clear to me that you can watch them after the event. Bérénice on this Saturday for example in an 80s production directed by Klaus-Michael Gruber who used to work at the Schaubuhne with Peter Stein in the 70s. They seem to use the word Captation for the new live recording as opposed to Réalisation which suggests somehow adapted for telly.
Vienna's Burgtheater is also showing two productions a week from Good Friday, each available from 18.30 Austrian time for 24 hours, one on Friday one on Monday. They are starting with something I've never heard of Glaube und Heimat by Klaus Schönherr from earlier this century then Schnitzler's Anatol from the early 60s. They promise great productions from 60 years of its history. Potentially wonderful.
The Schaubuhne's offer is the most generous at the moment with one production a day. Of the two older ones I've seen, both directed by Peter Stein, one was a TV showing of the play on stage (Bruno Ganz in Kleist's Prinz Friedrich von Hamburg, very good), the other was a poor TV adaptation of Botho Strauß's Groß und Klein, which left me no wiser as to why it was so highly regarded. The modern live broadcasts are so much more atmospheric.
I'd also recommend the Théâtre de l'Odéon's offer - Théâtre et Canapé. There are the three modern Molières directed by Stéphane Brauschweig and a Three Sisters by the same director.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag stage show, which spawned two television series and helped catapult her to international stardom, is to be streamed to raise money for coronavirus charities.
The West End run of Fleabag was one of the hottest theatre tickets of 2019. In September it was broadcast live to cinema audiences through National Theatre Live.
From Monday afternoon viewers in the UK and Ireland will be able to stream a recording of the show via the Soho Theatre’s on demand site. It will cost £4, with the money going to charities.
The show, first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013, will also be available on Amazon Prime for a fortnight from 10 April.

Details on Soho's site. It's the NT Live recording - saw it at the cinema and the filmed version works really well. |

A nice number of shows available at culturestream.co.uk
All shows that were already online, but nice to have somewhere where they're all gathered.

Just discovered a little gem on Instagram for any fans of Lesley Jordan. He is posting daily videos whilst he is self isolating. They are very random and quite mad. Typical Lesley.

I followed the link last night but didn't get anywhere. As I don't have an IG account maybe that was the reason why I couldn't see anything on her IG page. What did she sing please? I'm really gutted I missed this as I wanted to hear her do something from the Drifters Girl show. |

Within this wooden O
Watching Hamlet from the Globe has made me realise how much I love the Wooden O and the reality I won’t be there on the 14th for the opening night of the summer season brings me sadness.
Will definitely be a Groundling on the day the summer season finally opens.

That's good, at least means it's a decent recording. Need to stay off full screen it seems.

She said she'd be doing some more Instagram 'gigs' as she really enjoyed herself, so hopefully you'll be able to catch her next time 🤞 |

Well I certainly have to wave the flag for BBC Three's In My Skin again, I;m racing through it though trying to make it last, it's so well written with a very difficult subject matter dealt with by weaving warmth and humour through the writing, only five episodes but I hope they commission more!

I'm really gutted I missed this as I wanted to hear her do something from the Drifters Girl show. I checked by logging out and you do need an account to view IG stories. Though there are (potentially dubious) third party websites that let you watch stories while not logged in. To view with an IG account, you have to click on the circular profile photo on top left. |

Very disappointed! Oh well, I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunities once the theatres are back up and running to have a dance! |

Or just create an Instagram account with a new email address for the sole purpose of watching livestreams - that's pretty much all I use mine for, I've never posted! |
