Stage on Screen, Ltd. Information

Stage on Screen commissions, produces and records classic English Language stage plays. The recordings, directed by the renowned BBC Director, Chris Cowey, are made with multiple cameras in front of a live audience at London’s historic Greenwich Theatre. Primarily for the educational market in the UK and the English speaking world, the recordings are released on DVD (with streaming being introduced later this year) and sell around the world. To quote a recent review: “ Four productions of early canonical plays (Volpone, Dr Faustus, The Duchess of Malfi and The School for Scandal) were specially commissioned, directed by Elizabeth Freestone and performed to live audiences at Greenwich Theatre. High-quality recordings of the productions were made during the live run and subsequently released on DVD with extensive bonus discs offering behind-the-scenes information, educational resources and contributor interviews. The project's remit is educational; yet the productions stand alone as entertaining, professional versions of the plays….. .and the audible presence of an audience retains the sense of liveness and coherence that keeps a production distinctly theatrical.” Peter Kirwan, “The Bardathon”, Lecturer in Early modern Drama Nottingham University. The DVDs are available to purchase direct from our website at www.stageonscreen.com
