One of the “good” things to come out of the pandemic is that National Theatre is sharing its very well-made filmed productions on YouTube. A new play goes up on Thursday and is available for one week.
For the most part, the filming is exceedingly sharp, and yet the productions retain the feel of a play, and the live audience is included.
You can subscribe, and also set reminders to watch “live” on Thursdays. Here’s the trailer for the first week in May: “Frankenstein.”
