It’s Sunday. Tomorrow, the new week begins, as does — again — the difficult balance of home life and work that’s now the norm for many of us. Today’s recommendations for how to expand your world beyond the boundaries of your living room are designed to provide an extra sense of peace to prepare you for the week ahead.
BroadwayHD, a streaming service with an admirable library of recent hits and older classics, has begun offering free 7-day trials. (In order to access them you have to sign up for a subscription, but you can cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge.) For those with kids, try out “Peter Pan,” “The Wind in the Willows” or “The Sound of Music.” For adults, there are the gorgeously escapist musicals “An American in Paris” and “The King and I,” among many others, but our first recommendation would be to stream three Shakespearean dramas directed by the British standout Phyllida Lloyd and starring all-female casts: “Julius Caesar,” “The Tempest” and “Henry IV.”
