TH SORCERER'S APPRENTICE Comes to stream.theatre

'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' was filmed live with multiple cameras at Southwark Playhouse in February 2021 after its planned season was cancelled due to lockdown restrictions.

Producer James Seabright said: "'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' has already been seen by more people via stream-theatre than we could have fitted into six weeks of live shows at Southwark Playhouse. Happily this is not the end of our streaming adventure. Today we announce a new streaming period from 25 March to 11 April on stream.theatre, targeted at family audiences over the Easter period. This will be complemented by scheduled streaming over the same dates on the Stellar platform to make the show more accessible to audiences in the USA."

Against the backdrop of the Northern Lights, a small town has been pushed to the brink of collapse in a bid for progress and prosperity. To rescue Midgard from certain destruction, father and daughter must heal their relationship and work together. This gripping family-friendly story sees brooms coming to life and love blossoming anew.

Acclaimed musical theatre writers Richard Hough and Ben Morales Frost have created this gender-swapped twist on the timeless poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which also inspired the Dukas symphony that memorably featured in the Disney film 'Fantasia'.
