Fleabag is available to stream from Amazon Prime, as part of a partnership with the National Theatre that includes three other NT Live favourites: Hamlet with Benedict Cumberbatch Frankenstein with Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller and Ian McKellen’s 80th-birthday solo show. But you’ll probably still be streaming Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s performance of her wildly successful monologue, recorded at Wyndham’s theatre in London, where it sold out in the summer of 2019. Maybe you’ve even seen the stage show more than once. There is also the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse’s opening production, The Duchess of Malfi, starring Gemma Arterton. The Globe Player also has heaps of past productions to rent, including an international selection from the 2012 Globe to Globe festival such as a Lithuanian Hamlet, a Japanese Coriolanus and an Armenian King John. There’s a revival of the carnivalesque 2019 Midsummer Night’s Dream, director Ola Ince’s eagerly awaited Romeo and Juliet, and Twelfth Night with artistic director Michelle Terry as Viola. If you can’t get into the Wooden O for its new summer season then fear not: most of the shows are being streamed. Performed by a cast of six including the phenomenal Shelley Eva Haden. Faith’s new piece is built around autobiographical testimonies of isolation and research into the challenges faced by coastal towns with underfunded services, presenting “a society at tipping point”. Rhiannon Faith’s dance-theatre productions have tackled tough subjects in bold and surprising ways: her fringe show Scary Shit wormed its way into the brain with its mix of troubling and comforting images. It can also be watched online as there are three encore screenings from 18–20 June, with audio description and captions available. Directed by Charlotte Bennett, the play reopened the Kiln theatre in London where it runs until 12 June. Amy Trigg’s debut play about a twentysomething navigating friendship, romance and spina bifida in a sometimes hostile world was a joint winner of the inaugural Women’s Prize for Playwriting.
