Two plays from Shakespeare and an anti-racism "town hall" session with Big Bird, and a few other Sesame Street characters, might make for strange weekend viewing. But we live in surreal times. So just sit back and enjoy what's happening virtually this weekend.

Here is your chance to watch Tom Hiddleston (Betrayal, The Avengers, The Night Manager) play Coriolanus in Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge, directed by Josie Rourke (Mary Queen Of Scots).
