  • Showtime - Spotlight On... One Year On
    Today it has been exactly one year since our host, Ella Wydrzynska, last watched a live show in a theatre. On Wednesday (17th March) it will be the anniversary of theatres shutting in the West End and across the country because of the pandemic.

    Now, one year on, this #SpotlightOn episode takes a look at what we've learnt, how the theatre industry has remained viable, and what the future might look like.

    For a full playlist of all #SpotlightOn episodes, click here.

    Plus, here are our top tips of theatre content you can still watch or should be keeping an eye on:
    • Broadway HD - a subscription service dedicated to shows from across Broadway and the West End.
    • Stream.Theatre - the platform that is most commonly used for streaming shows where you need to a buy a ticket before. Keep an eye out to see what becomes available!
    • The Shows Must Go On - a YouTube channel that regularly broadcast full shows completely for free.
    • The Space Between - a mini-musical created entirely during lockdown by David Hunter and Caroline Kay.
    • National Theatre At Home - a subscription service where you can watch National Theatre Live recordings; you can have a monthly subscription or pay for a single play. 
    • The Theatre Café - a London-based café that this past year have hosted virtual concerts and launched their own 'Theatre Channel'.
    • Lambert Jackson - a production company who have been working tirelessly throughout lockdown to bring us fabulous new shows designed to be streamed online. Their website will keep you up to date on all their latest projects.
    • BBC iPlayer and Sky Arts are both freely available and regularly feature amazing theatre content, such as musicals, plays, opera and ballet.

    • The Film Show - 10/03/2021 - Female-Led Thrillers
      Welcome one and all to the Film Show! On this one Isaac, Lizzy & John do a Rosamund Pike double bill with the brand new 'I Care A Lot' and the modern classic 'Gone Girl'. Then we chat about the Coen Brothers' 'Fargo' and Park Chan-wook's 'The Handmaiden'.

      Back to the Skype call for this one unfortunately but it's a pretty cracking one if I do say so myself! All in a day's work in this week's Film Show, the only show to mention Judith Butler and Columbo in the same hour-long podcast (if not, please tell me so I can binge it immediately!)

      Is Marge Gunderson the Coen's MVP? (Well, obviously!)
      Should David Fincher stop using his horrible green-tinted
      lighting? (Leading question courtesy of John's rampant editorialising)
      Is it time for a 90s alt-metal reappraisal? (YES)
      Tell us what you think on our various social media channels at the bottom of the description!

      Hope you enjoy!
