COVID-19 update:
Our mail-order and online resources service is continuing as usual, and we have made some changes to assist teachers with remote learning.
Free online streaming for DVD buyers offer:
For the next few months we are offering free access to watch our productions online at vimeo.com to everyone who has purchased a DVD. This access is available only for the titles you/your institution owns, according to our database. You will be able to share access with all of your students (provided they have internet access) for a limited time. If you already own a DVD and would like more information, please email ben@splendidproductions.co.uk for full details.
Please note Vimeo’s on demand service is not compatible with Windows operating systems. Although trailers are playable on all devices, if you try to watch your rented video on an unsupported device, only the trailer will play. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this causes – it’s a Vimeo restriction that we have no control over. The on demand films are work with all Apple devices, along with internet TV and Android devices, so are playable on the vast majority of mobiles. More details about compatible systems are available here.
The free streaming offer also applies to ALL NEW DVD and Super Pack purchases until further notice - we lovingly encourage you to buy more!
The standard Vimeo rental service is also available, and we have temporarily increased the rental period from 24hrs to 30 days - a whole month for a tiny £7.50!
In the light of worldwide school closures, we are encouraging clients to order and pay for our resources via Paypal using this form.
We are accepting Purchase Order/invoice orders where finance departments are still operating, and we have updated this form to make it easier to give us both an invoice address (eg for your school) and a delivery address (eg a home address). We will also ask you to provide a finance department email address so we can send invoices directly to your institution.
We reserve the right to cancel orders where we are not confident the order will be paid for.

“Very well shot, in that they still feel like a theatre performance… Ideal at A-level where a single watch of the live production can be supplemented by several revisits and discussions of key moments. Also invaluable from the point of view of demonstrating, quickly and effectively, how an interpretation can be placed onto a play, for students who struggle with the idea that there isn’t just a single way to perform a script.”
Andrew Shakeshaft, Head of Drama, Monmouth School (The Blake Theatre)
Film information and PricesThe films are multi-camera recordings of live performances. Each performance lasts 60-70mins, and both DVD and streaming versions include short documentaries of the rehearsal process and optional audio commentary giving extra context and insights on the creation of each piece.

“The performance in particular supports the written exam for the new GCSE and the new A Level where they need to write about Live Theatre. This provides easy access to inventive work without expensive travel to the theatre. The DVD and pack produced is also an excellent teaching support. The style is accessible and entertaining for students (and staff)."
Sally Foley, Head of Faculty, Chelmsford County High school for Girls
"Your DVD of Faustus is the only DVD I have shown to have received applause from a class. They love the way you interpret a play and perform with such energy."
Kevin Jones, Emrys ap Iwan School, Abergele
"Thank you Splendid for another amazing resource! The DVDs are
essential for anyone teaching A-Level Drama & Theatre studies, as both Dr Faustus and Woyzeck are texts for Unit 4!!
All of our students saw the original productions and it's so great to be able to refer back to them in class as well as using them to give
examples of performance skills and the different ways of interpreting a script. Thank you Thank you Thank you!"
Leo Cox, Sudbury Upper School & Arts College
