Oxford Playhouse Digital Stage announces exciting new programme of online productions

This Autumn, the Oxford Playhouse is bringing an exciting new collection of digital work to its audiences. The programme will include live-streamed performances from the Oxford Playhouse stage as well as pieces made especially for the Digital Stage season. 

The season features an exciting and impressive collection of productions. Stephen Fry, Matthew Kelly and Sara Crowe star in the digital world premiere of Going The Distance, from the team behind The Picture of Dorian Grey. Renowned theatre company Complicité are also bringing Can I Live? to the season, in association with the Barbican, London. This is a piece about environmental activism using hip-hop, spoken word and theatre, directed by Daniel Bailey and co-directed by Simon McBurney. 

Dancing onto the screen will be Rambert2, a hand-picked company of 11 new dancers, performing choreography from Artistic Director Benoit Swan-Pouffer in a real-time live-stream performance from their Southbank base. For families, a multi-sensory, interactive adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden will delight viewers, delivered to the letterbox. 

There will be a livestream of the special fundraising performance of In The Sea There Are Crocodiles on 12 September which tells the story of 10-year-old Einiat’s escape from the Taliban. 

Tickets, and more programming information, are available here.
