The best theatre to stream this month: Dancing at Dusk, Maryland and more

Our roundup of drama to watch at home includes international festivals, Gemma Arterton in The Duchess of Malfi and Christopher Plummer in The Tempest

When Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring was performed at Sadler’s Wells in June, one of the theatre’s resident bats unexpectedly swooped into the performance, leaving some to wonder if it was part of the show. After all, Bausch’s masterpiece, performed on a bed of peat, isn’t short on heady atmosphere. In this film about the production, the stage is sand as we watch the company of dancers from African countries perform Bausch’s driven choreography on the beach in Senegal in 2020, just before their tour was cancelled because of Covid. Available until 11 July.

Winds of change blow as Jones selects England squad fans have been craving | Robert Kitson

Eddie Jones’s selection for the first Test is as significant a cabinet reshuffle as English rugby has undergone for a while

The winds of change are finally rustling the palm trees beside the nearby Swan River. Not only will Courtney Lawes lead England into Saturday’s first Test against Australia in preference to Owen Farrell but Eddie Jones has also parachuted three experimental new caps into his matchday 23.

Previous research has shown astronauts lose between 1% and 2% of bone density for every month spent in space, as the lack of gravity takes pressure off their legs when it comes to standing and walking.
