Hi there, I'm working a multimedia project in relation to multiple mediums and was curious of some examples of shows that literally have televisions placed on stage with the actors. Maybe they interact and respond with the televisions. Thanks for your help!
BRING BACK BIRDIE had a whole set composed of TV sets and both JERSEY BOYS and The Who's TOMMY both incorporate "live" cameras and their "live" feed on TV sets on stage.
BRING IT ON had TV screens that acted as backdrop scenery, computer screens, and video screens.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
I thought about this, but did they really have TV's on stage? I remember early in the 2nd act Huey did his TV show and they had cameras, but where were the TV's?
"Treats" in it's run in the WE at least had a TV, if memory serves it was also relaying what was live on tv rather than a recording if that makes a difference.
The Wooster Group's Hamlet (as mentioned above) is also really interesting for the way they used replaying the performances.
Maybe I'm on nobody's side
