A Different Stage : Film, Theatre and the Space Between Tim Byrne , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: Screen Education , no. 91 2018; (p. 36-43)

'There is a long, rich history of interaction between the stage and the screen, with each discipline drawing upon the techniques of (and audiences' familiarity with) the other. Looking at various examples of cinematic representations of theatre and the theatrical - some more successful than others - Tim Byrne argues that this mutual engagement can benefit both artforms.'
