The present paper attempts to study the rise of Virtual theatre globally during the post-Covid era with special emphasis on the reasons behind such emergence, various ways in which Virtual theatres are operating both globally and nationally, and variety of responses such a surfacing has generated, thereby trying to figure out whether such a form of theatre can actually someday act as a proper replacement of the more popular form of live theatre.
