Theatreland (2014)

Theatreland is an eight-part series following a few months in the life of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, a venerable institution located in London’s West End that dates back to 1720. During the period of time chronicled, the TRH puts on a hit Waiting For Godot starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and prepares to launch a production of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The star factor is intriguing enough, but what makes this documentary special is its focus on everyone that makes a show happen, from the marquee names to the housekeepers who dust the lights.
