Past Event
Watch an archived performance recording from the selected titles below as part of the National Video Archive of Performance (NVAP). Since 1992, the museum has been recording live shows in high-quality formats and making them available for groups to watch onsite. These live recordings are only available to view at the V&A. Please note, the running times vary between the titles.
A screening can both reinforce students’ understanding and appreciation of a play they already know and act as a useful aide for exam revision or introduction. After watching the performance, we recommend a visit to the Theatre and Performance Galleries on Level 2, to complement and contextualise your visit.
Capacity: A minimum of 10 and maximum of 100 students per screening.
