A Live Broadcast of the York Mystery Plays 2012 thespace.org
The Space As part of the BBC / Arts Council Digital Research and Development fund we worked with Kinura to deliver a multi-camera livestream and archive of the York Mystery Plays on August 11th 2012. This ran on the Space.org website until October 2013. In a livestreaming first, the viewer was able to create a bespoke version of the production by switching between 6 different camera angles, selecting 3 different audio options and even taking a peak backstage. We reached 237,000 accounts via twitter and made 1.5m impressions during the livestream week. The online audience was over 1,000 for the live event, and the archive audience has remained steady since.
Letter to the Man (from the Boy) Written and performed by Henry Raby Directed by Tom Bellerby Henry Raby’s first full length solo show was a collection of poems about growing up. From Saturday morning cartoons and comic books through to first crushes and first hangovers. Presented at City Screen, York Theatre Royal, Scarborough Literature Festival and the Underbelly, Edinburgh Festival. “The pace is lively, the material crowd pleasing and truly accessible Applause was plentiful and heartfelt; a few stood in ovation. Henry Raby had somehow made his show, about his own life and filled with his own work, become a show about each of us, too.” One and Other
