Theatre at Home

Post by Tasty »

There are lots of places offering free shows and gigs online during lockdown, including the National Theatre Live & Andrew Lloyd Webber’s company. Some shows are available for a few days afterwards, some just a day so check if you’re planning to catch up later.

Twelfth Night starring Tamsin Grieg is available until 7pm Thursday 30th April

These will be great for work; the director let us buy a smart TV for the main lounge as some of the entertainers we use to have come in are doing shows online which the residents are enjoying. I'm sure some of them would like these types of shows too :)
