Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax live stream offered to schools to mark COP26

To mark COP26, The Old Vic and The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh are partnering to offer live streams of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax for all schools, as part of their IN CAMERA: PLAYBACK project. 

The performance stars Jamael Westman as the Once-ler, alongside a puppet of the Lorax, controlled by Audrey Brisson, David Ricardo-Pearce and Ben Thrompson; the show is directed by Max Webster. Live streaming from the Old Vic stage, the production is David Greig and Charlie Fink’s Olivier Award-nominated adaptation that transforms the story into a ‘pint-sized’ version to keep young audiences engaged.  

It is suggested that schools book for one of the IN CAMERA: PLAYBACK performances on 1 or 2 November 2021, with schools from Scotland (the host nation of the COP26) particularly encouraged to book.
