Living Newspaper is a great idea and it’s a very impressive undertaking. The writers and actors have so little time in which to do their jobs and the fact that they’re producing a new and really quite long film every week is remarkable.

There are several items of news, taking us through the pages of the newspaper and around the Royal Court Theatre. Most use the spoken word but there is also a lot of music and dancing.

Living Newspaper is the Royal Court’s latest lockdown project. There will be one a week for six weeks and judging from this first one, they’ll last about ninety minutes.

There was a lot in this first episode. It features the work of twelve writers, performed by a company of thirteen actors. The cameras go to different locations in the Royal Court and in each location, there’s a performance.
