With Britain’s theatres closed until at least late autumn, enthusiasts have had to rely on the internet – and streaming archive recordings of hit plays – to get their fill.
Following our first round-up of plays to watch in lockdown, here are eight other shows you might like to get stuck in to:
Hamilton, Disney+ (from 3 July)
Disney had originally planned to release an original-cast recording of its globe-conquering musical next autumn. But with the pandemic the media giant chose to bring the whole thing forward, making Hamilton available – through its Disney+ subscription service – from 3 July. Yes, that’s still a few weeks off, but look on the bright side: given the London show had already sold most of its 2020 tickets long before lockdown, it’s probably less of a wait to see it than you might have had otherwise. Expect this one to spread quicker than the virus itself.
