The Remote Read: ‘A Separate Peace’ by Tom Stoppard
Event Information
Description
Jenna Coleman, David Morrissey, Denise Gough, Ed Stoppard and Maggie Service star in remote reading of 'A Separate Peace' (1964) by Tom Stoppard
This is no ordinary script in hand reading - this performance has a full creative and production team behind it, and will be directed by award-winning film and theatre director Sam Yates.
**This is an exclusive one-time only LIVE production performance - streamed as it is being performed by the actors, and produced by the creative and production teams.**
A new frontier for live theatre, creating new digital versions of traditional stage jobs - this innovative project is the first of its' kind, developing, producing and performing a piece entirely remotely.
This production has been put together by a team of creatives, re-imagining their roles for a digital production - including the Director, Design team, Stage Manager and others.
All profits from ticket sales will be split between a donation to The Felix Project, and the creatives and technicians forced out of work by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The production will be performed and streamed live via Zoom webinar. Ticket holders will receive a follow-up email with viewing information before the show date.
