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.
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.
It is a rather silly superstition. I've always wondered what they do when rehearsing or performing Macbeth. Too bad this revival is a solo production. I would have loved to have seen Sigourney Weaver as Lady The Scottish Play.
