Juliet Stevenson and Sophie Thompson lead LITTLE WARS online

I'm interested by this. Haven't heard of it before but I love both Juliet Stevenson and Sophie Thompson and it sounds like an interesting premise. Tickets are £12 too so very reasonable and you get 24 hours to watch the stream. I wonder which platform will be used to show it. I would prefer them to be live streams but I can understand that this maximises income for the charity making the same product reusable night after night.

I've never heard of the play, although it sounds interesting, but the cast and the cause are both right up my alley.
November seems so far though... (I know it really isn't...)

Apolgoies for broken link in first post. www.whatsonstage.com/london-theatre/news/juliet-stevenson-little-wars-digital_52453.html

They just released a trailer for the play. Looks fascinating and beautifully done for zoom, right? Excited to see it!

I'm not sure how this one's actually being streamed - so can't yet answer the smart-TV etc question. But you'll be sent an access passcode and the viewing link the day before which will be valid for 24 hours from 10am on the day you've booked. There's an email address in the booking confirmation to contact if you've not received the link by 9am on the day you've booked.

If you've got a smart TV it should have a browser app which should be able to watch Vimeo (someone said that's what it's being hosted on) but if not you can always play it on something like a laptop and connect it to the TV with an HDMI cable which will let you view whatever's on the laptop on the TV screen. Or if you haven't got a laptop there should be a way to cast from a smart phone to a smart TV.

So the first page says it's just this week but when you go to tickets they are further dates with tickets not yet released? Does anyone know if it's extending it's viewing?

Thanks guys, I’m checking out the vimeo. It looks like I can get it on the telly which will be good. Why doesn’t some clever bod find a way of getting all the theatre streaming on one platform. I know they are commercial and charge etc but it should be possible, no?



I’m having trouble with vimeo. Enter all the gubbins on the so called form but then it won’t  let me join cos time has expired on the form. I’m slow but not that slow. Should I just try again, again.. ? 

I hate to be that person, but: can anyone who has watched it advise what the running time is?

Thank you!

Got there in the end. Excellent. Loved it. Such actors, wow. Would love to see it on the stage, same cast and maybe the Almeida or Donmar with period set etc..maybe. Anyway, I recommend.

Oh, I have missed this. A play, a new (to me) play, to watch and to which to react and with such great actors “interacting” with each other. Monologues are good (in many cases, great) but this was different. The acting was uniformly superb. The use of Zoom was innovative and clever.

The play...had issues. In many ways I wish the playwright hadn’t used the names of real people, because so much of this depended on suspension of disbelief that just wasn’t possible. I’m sure some of the details with respect to Stein and Toklas were inaccurate, but I don’t know as much about their lives as the others. 

But (spoilers here, both for the play and for the history):
