Key claims and evidence

Key claims in source A

  • A lot of the audience will have been lured by the prospect of seeing Erivo in the flesh.
  • Erivo is subjected to the theatrical equivalent of the beep test (Daniel Boud)A solo show should be a chance for an actor to show an audience what they can do – and who they are.
  • There’s probably not much he’d recognise about this bracingly 21st-century take on his tale, staged just a few streets away at the Noël Coward Theatre.
  • Director Kip Williams has brought out the same cinematic toolbox he used for sumptuous, Sarah Snook-starring 2024 hit The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Key claims in source B

  • The National Theatre has announced its celebrity-filled 2026 season.
  • There’s a lot of debate over whether ‘live video’ – that is to say, a performance relayed via video feed to a big screen on the stage – counts as theatre, and the answer I will give anybody to this is ‘yes’.
  • This all accepted, Williams remains a fantastically exciting director whose bold experiments in mainstream video-driven theatre should be applauded, and are thrilling when they do work.
  • But the Stockwell-born Wicked star was always going to come home at some point, and Dracula offers the chance to show her range: taking on 23 roles in a stage retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire novel.
