I know I'm really excited about the National Theatre Live program that broadcasts shows from The National right to Coolidge Corner. If I was in London, I would probably be going to as many of these shows as I could. Since I can't, I would rather see them in a movie theatre than not experience them at all. Certainly it won't have the same impact, since yes, live theatre is so based on interaction with the audience, but I think it's better to have some access then none at all.

I really like the idea of digital theatre because I can see the things that I have no way of accessing otherwise, and anyway, theatre is about sharing our art, right?
