Live streaming of many wonderful productions during lockdown was like a Free Pass to the best theatre around the world, as well as movies and TV programmes to catch up on. Here’s a selection of recommendations you may wish to add to your viewing list.

FROM BRIDGET
James Corden in One Man, Two Guv’nors was just brilliant. Hilarious!
Netflix with ‘Ozark’ and ‘The Midnight Diner’ were great watching.
Saw beautiful Royal NZ Ballet productions too.

FROM DARRYN, my assistant
I discovered “Encore”, a TV programme on Disney Plus that reunites former members of High School musicals who re-stage the musicals of their youth, years after they performed them.

FROM PAM LOGAN, local director
When you go down ‘the rabbit hole’ of youtube there are some wonderful surprises and delights, saw a wonderful production of Streetcar Named Desire. Also Frankenstein, The Madness of King George III, Treasure Island, Jane Eyre, Twelfth Night and Cleopatra to name a few. Also caught up with a number of Shakespeare productions on the Globe Theatre stage Hamlet, Twelfth Night, A Winter’s Tale, As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet.
