Just because the majority of us are confined to our homes, this doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy some of the theatrical and cultural highlights from a number of our friends and partners…

Rosie Kay Dance Company’s Fantasia

Our Hippodrome Associate Rosie Kay Dance Company are streaming their production of Fantasia this Friday (and the following Wednesday) followed by a live post-show Q&A with the creative team and performers. Three bold female dancers luxuriate in Kay’s signature style of athletic, visceral, raw and technical choreography underscored with a wicked humour.

BBC Culture in Quarantine: Shakespeare

The BBC are continuing their series of bringing theatrical experiences through the medium of television with a series of stellar Shakespearean plays. You can currently pick from ten different productions here.

One of our top picks is The Globe’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Fusing music, dance and some serious comedy, Emma Rice’s Dream is naughty, tender, transgressive and surprising. Click here to watch.

Royal Albert Home – Marisha Wallace

After her sold-out solo concert in our Patrick Studio earlier this year, the West End’s Marisha Wallace performed a free gig in her living room over the weekend. As part of the Royal Albert Hall’s sessions, Marisha performed hit songs from some of her favourite musicals.
