Performances at Covent Garden's 251-seat Donmar Warehouse have an inbuilt intimacy. Max Webster's 2023 production of Shakespeare's breakneck tragedy went a step further, as audiences wore headphones to experience Gareth Fry's richly eerie binaural soundscape and savour the powerhouse pairing of David Tennant and Cush Jumbo.

Recently given a scorching five-star revival at Nottingham Playhouse, starring Aisling Loftus, Dennis Kelly's 2018 monologue is also available as an audiobook.

Houston Ballet brings "Elapse" from the stage to your screen
Houston Ballet's production of "Elapse" is now streaming on Marquee TV, bringing the Bayou City performance to audiences worldwide. Why it matters: Having the ballet available digitally is a step toward expanding the company's global reach through digital platforms. Driving the ballet: "Elapse," choreographed by Disha Zhang, explores aging and the passage of time. It premiered in 2019 as part of Houston Ballet's 50th anniversary season and was Zhang's first commission for the company. What they're saying: "The filming of 'Elapse' is a significant milestone for Houston Ballet, as it is a meaningful way to share our artistry with a global audience," said Julie Kent, artistic director at Houston Ballet. "Marquee TV's platform allows us to expand access to ballet and introduce new viewers to the depth and beauty of our work." Flashback: Houston Ballet's last major filmed collaboration was "Ghost Dances" (1991), aside from pandemic-era recordings.
