Films are accompanied by transcripts with real-time tracking of lines spoken, and a search transcript function. A resource pack for teachers and a collection of still production images is provided for each play. The resource includes 140 PDFs offering activities and exercises introducing the plays and exploring a range of themes such as relationships, gender, patriarchy, leadership and forgiveness, as well as script extracts for close study of the text. In addition, 40 short videos are provided which introduce the plays, the productions, actors and creative team, and offer unique insights into the ideas and craft that lie behind and within each film. "The three plays were filmed at Donmar King's Cross, in a co-production between the Donmar Warehouse and Illuminations. A new model of filming was devised, which involved shooting all three plays on two separate days - one day with eight cameras on one side, the other with the cameras on the opposite side. The resulting footage was edited together over several months, together with material from GoPro cameras."-- Publisher's website.
