Digital Theatre+ gives teachers free access to their productions

Last updated 18 March 2020

In light of theatres having to close their doors due to Coronavirus, Digital Theatre+ have made their platform available for schools to use for free.

ALSO SEE – 28 Shows You Can Watch Online For Free

Digital Theatre+ is an online video hub with over 400 productions, unique backstage insights, practitioner interviews and written analysis. Over 2,000 academic institutions use the service in over 80 countries.

Even though there is no substitution for live theatre, the offer allows schools to use the platform as a temporary fix following the cancellation of hundreds of theatre school trips across the UK.

Schools can sign up to the 7-day trial, where they’ll get access to thousands of resources, revision aids and hundreds of productions from world-leading theatre companies.
