With England\u2019s second lockdown of the year well underway and no real signs of theatres being<\/strong>\u00a0allowed to open any time soon, a number of productions have taken matters into their own hands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a roundup of all the shows currently set to stream in lockdown 2.0.<\/h3>\n
