In their own words
Digital Theatre+
Digital Theatre+ is an education service for English and Drama, bringing dramatic texts, poetry, performances, and curriculum-linked learning resources together. Its library lists more than 600 productions, 800 video resources, and 21,000 pages of written material, including workshops, interviews, analysis, essays, guides, and lesson plans. Institutions can use Content Controls to decide which resources students may access and set restrictions. Classroom tools and admin analytics are available. Access is commonly licensed across an institution for staff and students, with sign-in through SAML 2 single sign-on or email-and-password accounts. Subscriptions include tailored onboarding and ongoing assistance from a dedicated Customer Success Manager, with training and refresher sessions. The service runs in a browser, with current Windows, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, and Android versions listed as supported; Linux is expected to work but remains untested. It does not currently offer LTI integrations, though content can be linked or embedded in some learning management systems. Institutional pricing is available on request.
