School theatre to 'livescreen' famous plays from UK

The Department of Education and Children says it'll be offering seats at productions in some of Britain's most famous venues this year.

The Studio Theatre at Ballakermeen High School has unveiled its livescreening programme - where audiences watch a performance taking place before a live audience.

They include The Tempest at the RSC in Stratford upon Avon, Il Trovatore at the Royal Opera House and Amadeus at the National Theatre.

Headteacher Adrienne Burnett says the screenings are a great way to enjoy culture without the expense of travelling, buying tickets and staying in hotels.
