Deputy Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Erica Whyman joins James King to discuss her favourite stage productions on the big screen.

From Romeo and Juliet to One Man, Two Guvnors, Erica talks about how big screen theatre offers the ultimate form of escapism and how her role is to ensure that audiences are engaged and surprised by theatre, ensuring that it takes them away to new places.

Erica’s big screen theatre picks:

Macbeth

Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet

British Museum- Pompeii

One Man, Two Guvnors

Much ado about nothing
