For the most hilarious and side-splitting theatre experience this month, look no further than Richard Bean's 'One Man, Two Guvnors'. The riotous farce, which relocated 18th-century Venice to a British seaside town in the 1960s, is back on the streaming platform NT at Home from January 13.
First screened during the first lockdown in 2020, this James Corden-starring show has already captivated an audience of over two million viewers. Whether you're watching it with a bowl of soup or "winerama!", this farce remains one of the best theatre experiences globally available.
If you're more in the mood for glitz and glamour, then 'Big Night of Musicals by the National Lottery' is an event not to be missed. Featuring stars like Carrie Hope Fletcher as Calamity Jane and Billy Porter, this musical extravaganza boasts spectacular songs from some of the biggest shows of 2025.
For those who prefer a darker experience, 'The Unquiet Podcast: Stories for Dark Nights' may be just what you need. Adapted from E Nesbit's gothic tale "The Mass for the Dead", this audio drama promises to send shivers down your spine with its eerie sound design and music by Max Pappenheim.
For a short yet enchanting respite, 'Les Patineurs' is an elegant 2010 recording of Frederick Ashton's ballet, showcasing the elite Royal Ballet dancers. Catch this entrancing 30-minute winter warmer from Royal Ballet and Opera Stream.
This month also brings some other notable productions. 'Breaking Bach' charts the collaboration between choreographer Kim Brandstrup and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, which incorporates breakdancing to introduce young audiences to JS Bach's work. You can catch this film on MarqueeTV.
A recent production of 'Much Ado About Nothing' at Canada's Stratford festival is also available from the Stratfest@Home platform. Director Chris Abraham has woven in new scenes by feminist playwright Erin Shields, giving Hero a greater inner life and agency.
Lastly, the musical 'Next to Normal', which won a Pulitzer prize in 2010 for its portrayal of mental illness, will be available on National Theatre at Home following its West End transfer.
For those who enjoy murder mysteries, 'Murder at Midnight' is available throughout January from Original Theatre, starring Jason Durr in this new comedy thriller by Torben Betts.
