Best Theater to Stream This Month: A Decade of Dom Coyote’s Great Theater Music | platform

Electrical stage

Dom Coyote says “electronics, acoustics, sound and story collide” in his compositions for the stage. His new album spans 10 years of work and includes music from productions by Dawn King’s Addictive Beat (ethereal, sphincter Sleep Dancers), Carol Ann Duffy’s Everyman (What’s God Like, an episode inspired by Jacob’s Ladder) and Judy Christian’s Hamlet (the initially cold Ophelia, warmed by the sounds of the natural world). It’s amazing stuff – available on Bandcamp.

Story lines

Finn Anderson and Tanya Azevedo’s popular folk musical explores the Scottish and Irish roots of Appalachian song through the history of one family. The “full” production continues at Southwark Playhouse Elephant in London this month, but the full album is on Spotify.

An accident in Vichy

Arthur Miller’s Incident at Vichy is a wonderful companion piece to his Kristallnacht play, Broken Glass, currently in revival at the Young Vic in London. The film takes place four years later, in 1942, about a group of detained men, most of them Jews, waiting to be interviewed. It will be revived in 2015 at New York’s Signature Theater on BroadwayHD.

Funny Woman: Prunella Scales

Filmed in 1998, this BBC profile of the late Prunella Scales focuses on her television roles but contains some fascinating material about her theater career, including footage of her rehearsing Pinter’s birthday party with students, and her thoughts on why she was classed as a “character actress” because of her appearance. On iPlayer.

Dance of death

Richmond’s Orange Tree Theater pits Lisa Dillon and Will Kane against each other as a deeply unhappy couple in August Strindberg’s play, newly translated and directed by Richard Eyre. Available upon request, March 10-13.

In the forest

London’s The Bridge presents a triumphant new staging of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s brilliant fantasy musical. But here’s a chance to go ‘into the park’ with Timothy Scheider’s 2010 outdoor revival. Starring Hannah Waddingham as the witch, she cast a spell at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. In Broadway HD.

I Love You: Sondheim’s Unspeakable

The first two episodes of the podcast are available starting March 5.

The importance of being serious

“I play with great expression,” Algernon says of his piano playing style in Oscar Wilde’s 1895 comedy. This certainly applies to Ncuti Gatwa, not least when he dons hot pink for the role in Max Webster’s glorious show with Ray Smith’s gorgeous costumes and sets. Enjoy free on YouTube from 12-18 March – then it will be available to National Theater At Home subscribers from 19 March.
