I’ve only just started exploring this deeply online theatre experience and it’s already made me cry twice. The future of digital theatre is here and it’s this festival.

A little broken .jpg link graphic took me to a parallel world previewing a disastrous event.
It's called "Yankees", and it winked (and eye rolled) complicitly at me saying "yep, American tourists abroad", am I rite?

(New day, new online play!)

oo0000 sh*t.

"Back in New York, the @CorkscrewFest has gone online with the free “Corkscrew 4.0” (enjoy the site’s vintage GeoCities vibe — and keep scrolling down), which is a placeholder for an IRL edition in 2021."

[NYT Theater @nytimestheater]

Online theater is booming. Let's dig into this month's picks: "Finish the Fight" about women's suffrage; and a reading of "The Jacksonian," reuniting Ed Harris and Bill Pullman https://t.co/7wwlJFmkFq

[Hope Chávez @_hopechavez]

This is BRILLIANT. Sending my whole artistic team to view what @CorkscrewFest is up to. We’ve got lots to learn from these geniuses.
