KAFKA'S MONKEY Completes Digital Theatre's 2009 Downloadable Catalogue
Today, Wednesday 23 December 2009, Digital Theatre announces the release of the critically acclaimed Young Vic production of Kafka's Monkey by Franz Kafka. Kathryn Hunter's one woman show, in an adaptation by Colin Teevan, is directed by Walter Meierjohann and enjoyed a sell-out season at the Young Vic earlier this year.
The initial three productions in Digital Theatre's first season were English Touring Theatre's Far From The Madding Crowd, a adaptation by Mark Healy from Thomas Hardy, directed by Kate Saxton with a cast including Rebecca O'Mara, Phil Cheadle and Stephen Billington; The Container, presented in association with the Young Vic and Amnesty International, highlighting the plight of illegal immigrants coming to the UK, written by Clare Bayley, directed by Tom Wright, designed by Naomi Dawson; and Jez Butterworth's sell-out production of Parlour Song, directed by Ian Rickson at the Almeida, with a cast comprising Amanda Drew, Andrew Lincoln and Toby Jones.
Launched earlier this year by Robert Delamere and Tom Shaw with an investment of over £1 million, Digital Theatre and its first five creative partner theatres - The Almeida Theatre Company, English Touring Theatre, The Royal Court Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Young Vic - produce downloadable theatre productions filmed in front of live audiences for users to download and keep at a cost of £8.99 - www.digitaltheatre.com
