Splendid Production Resources
Splendid Productions have been making splendid productions since 2004. This page is where you can find comprehensive teaching resources to support our unique creative adaptations, including:
- filmed versions of live performances (including bonus audio commentary and rehearsal footage) you can stream these online (£7.50 for 30 days or £35 for 1 year with optional DVD) – discounts available
- scripts (from £15) (you can also license our scripts for your own performance)
- education packs (£5/£12) we created for the original tours.
- Streaming Training Videos (£35/£20)
We also offer Production Streaming Super Packs combining 1-yr stream, optional DVD, script and education pack at a discounted price of £55 – it’s nearly as good as seeing Splendid in the flesh!
Prices include all applicable taxes and shipping worldwide.

Information about streaming video and DVDs
We have updated our shop with a range of new streaming video/teaching resources offers:
- 1-year streaming for our production videos – in addition to our existing 30-day streaming you can now get access to the stream of each of our shows for 1 year for £35.
Regular Splendid shoppers will notice that this is the same price our production DVDs, and we are combining these two products so that each 1-year rental comes with an optional DVD – you can decide whether to include the DVD during checkout. - With the 1-year stream you can take advantage of our multi-buy offer – the more titles you buy the more you save!
- Our new Streaming Super Packs include a 1-year stream, optional DVD, physical script and the education pack (which comes as both a hard copy and a sharable online-only version) – all for the same reduced price of £55.
- The £7.50 30-day streaming options are still available (any existing rentals will be unaffected), along with our excellent streaming-only training videos, and physical scripts and education packs.
We have also updated the purchasing process to make streaming video easier to buy for someone else.
Access to the video is now managed by a digital coupon that is automatically generated by your purchase and sent to the email address of your choice. Once rented, the video is linked to a Splendid Shop account, which users can log in to at any time during the rental period to watch the video. Unlike Netflix, we are happy for account details to be shared within institutions (within reason) so that a single rental can for example be watched by students at home.
You can link to all these options from this page, and there’s extensive step-by-step instructions for buying, sharing and streaming your videos if you need more information.
