How do I give access to my students?

ie: 1234_(code set by yourself)

Can I add colleagues in my organisation to our subscription?

I can see Metamorphosis, Othello and TOUCH on Frantic Assembly Studio. Why are there no other productions available?

Owing to rights issues with past productions, we are limited to what can be presented as part of Frantic Assembly Studio. We are working to make as many of our future productions as possible available for viewing. These may be presented on Frantic Assembly Studio in the future or via other streaming platforms.

We are delighted to present our 2023/24 touring production of Metamorphosis, 2022/23 touring production of Othello and TOUCH, our first devised work for camera, exclusively on Frantic Assembly Studio.
