Australian Theatre Live is among many local arts and cultural organisations filming performing arts events for digital distribution

This year, audiences in Australia could see Killing Eve's Jodie Comer tread the boards as a sexual assault lawyer in Australian play Prima Facie, watch Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones do Chekhov, and catch Ralph Fiennes (aka Voldemort) in a new play by award-winning writer David Hare.

They're just three of the offerings from the UK's National Theatre Live (NT Live), which brings star-studded British theatre to local cinemas.

During the pandemic, they launched National Theatre at Home, where audiences could stream productions such as Frankenstein, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, for free on YouTube (it is now a standalone subscription service).
