Blood + Chocolate, the sold-out promenade production through the streets of York, is to be streamed as a webcast on Thursday 17 October from 6:30PM.
The large-scale production, uniting professionals and hundreds of community actors and crew, explores the stories of the workers and owners of York’s chocolate factories during the First World War, alongside those of the young men involved in the conflict.
Pilot Theatre’s Digital Producer Mark Beasley said, "Although we can't replicate the whole live experience, we hope to capture the magic that audiences have witnessed on the street of York onto the small screen.
"For the people who have seen it already, they will get a chance to see the show from another perspective, and the people who didn't manage to get tickets will be able to get a sense of the enormity of the production."
Pilot has been streaming its work since 2008. Its work on innovation in theatre and technology has been developed through their annual 'shift happens' conference, which has led to new ways of working with digital media in the arts.
Last year, the company webcast the 2012 York Mystery Plays as part of online arts hub thespace.org.
Blood + Chocolate is a coproduction between Pilot Theatre, Slung Low, and York Theatre Royal.
The webcast will start on www.pilot-theatre.tv at 6:30PM.
