    Subtitled "The World’s First Staging of Ibsen on the Internet", this is a quirky and visually striking site which offers an idiosyncratic introduction to the work of the Norwegian playwright. Beginning with the original footage of Ibsen’s funeral in 1906, followed by a reconstruction of his final words, the spirit of Ibsen then takes leave from his death-bed and guides the viewer on a virtual tour of Oslo, punctuated by scenes from the plays, staged especially for this resource. Some of the monologues, in particular, are powerfully recreated. Navigation can be frustrating, but nonetheless this is an interesting resource.

    The National Review of Live Art (NRLA) Archive is a video archive containing performances from the NRLA festival from 1986 (the first year film records were kept) to its final year in 2010. Over the thirty years of its existence, the festival became a key event in the experimental arts world, covering dance and theatre as well as multi-media installations and sound and video art. The archive’s content reflects this diversity, covering not only the performances themselves but also discussions and interviews with participating artists. Given the challenging nature of some of the film, the site has a warning that it contains "material of a sexual and violent nature and deal openly with contentious issue" and users must be over the age of 18 to access the material.
