Digital Theatre Plus Celebrates International Women's Day 2018

We are shamelessly sharing a mailshot sent to us by one of our biggest subscriptions, Digital Theatre Plus.  It comes from their Community Manager, Alesha Tatum Howe:-

Digital Theatre+  wants to take this moment on International Women's Day to celebrate the contributions made by women on stage, backstage and behind the scenes.

At Digital Theatre+, their curation of the 900+ resources on the platform includes a commitment to diversity. This means you and your students have access to productions, interviews and study materials from famed practitioners and academics, including from the industry's leading women.

What to watch on International Women's Day
A fascinating exchange between Harriet Walter and Professor Carol Rutter – an in-depth discussion of ‘Shakespeare’s Women Today’ and female roles, Shakespeare’s language and musicality, gender-blind casting, sexuality in performance, and a whole lot more.
Our insightful interview with Complicite Co-Founder Annabel Arden and Artistic Director Catherine Alexander.
DT+'s treasure trove of interviews with some of the most skilled and creatively courageous women in theatre. Just some we recommend watching today include: Juliet StevensonImelda StauntonJulie WaltersZoe WaitesMeera SyalVicky FeatherstoneAlecky BlytheKatrina Lindsay and Imtiaz Dharker.
