    National Theatre At Home series has a new performance on their YouTube channel every week. Sadly the Treasure Island link is no longer available, but right NOW you can watch Johnny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch in Frankenstein (both versions – they swapped roles every night), and after that it will be Antony and Cleopatra.
