Gregory Doran, artistic director, Royal Shakespeare Company, said: “Nothing can replace the experience of seeing a play live on stage. But with our theaters currently closed, and all of us spending much more time at home, we are delighted to be working with BroadwayHD to give audiences around the world the chance to experience RSC productions from home. We have been filming all of our Shakespeare plays since 2013, broadcasting them into cinemas and to schools.
I want to see Paapa Essiedu as hamlet so bad
That’s good as long as it keeps it going 🥰
