Streaming Theatre Thread
London's National Theatre has been making a different old production available for streaming each week during the Corona lockdown.
I'm German, and lots of prestigious German theatres have been doing the same - Berlin's Schaubühne and Hamburg's Thalia Theater are even putting up a different productions every day. (Some of them with English subtitles available, I think, so it might be worth checking out even if you don't speak German.)
Are any other Anglophone theatres also streaming plays? (Or maybe French ones with subs?) Any recs?

French subs! Now that sounds hot. Where can I get a few of those, s'il vous plaît?

This could be of interest: this Wednesday, you'll be able to watch the Schaubühne stage adaptation of gay writer Didier Erebon's acclaimed autobiographical book "Returning to Reims" with English subtitles, between 6.30 PM and midnight Central European Time.

R1 Could not get past 20 minutes in to this abomination. Blanche shows up at Elysian fields wearing Laboutins toting Louis Vuitton luggage. And the actor playing Stanley SCREAMS Big Homo. Why change it to take place in modern day NOLA? So bad I couldn't even hate watch. I tried.

Considering starting the free month’s trial of the Met Opera app. Is it worth it? Which content should I be sure watch?

Great initiative, OP! I'm in France and La Boheme is streaming right now from Opera de Paris. Available until 14 June (one week).

R3 I saw the French version (by Ostermeier) on stage a year ago. It was excellent. Plus, I saw it in a "deprived area" - one actor was relatively high-profile, the other was a semi-local rapper. The whole thing was an interesting riff on the original text - great book.
