With over 100 productions from theater companies including the Young Vic, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, and the Almeida, Digital Theatre has gathered a rich archive. Specializing in capturing live performance on screen, using multiple camera angles and high-definition lenses, productions like The Crucible with Richard Armitage and David Tennant’s Much Ado About Nothing feel close to the real thing. Another must is Sheridan Smith’s turn as Fanny Brice—the role made famous by Barbra Streisand—and the first time Funny Girl has been performed on the London stage in 50 years.
