The Wooster Group streams five full productions until 15 May. It’s a great opportunity to watch the landmark works Hamlet (2007), which conjures the ghost of Richard Burton’s 1964 rendition, and House/Lights (1999), which combines Gertrude Stein with a 1960s B-movie. Group member Kate Valk directed the 2019 ICA theatre commission Desire: An Encounter with a Play by Kathy Acker.
