    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Roy Williams Has Been Quoted in the Guardian Saying: "We Only Ever Get
    Comedy, drama and black Britain – An interview with Paulette Randall Eva Ulrike Pirker British theatre director Paulette Randall once said about herself and her work, "I'm not a politician, and I never set out to be one. What I do believe is that if we are in the business of theatre, of art, of creating, then that has to be at the forefront. The product, the play, has to be paramount."1 A look at her creative output, however, shows her political engagement in place – not so much in the sense of taking a proffered side, but certainly in the sense of insisting on participation in the public debate. To name just a few of her recent projects: Her 2003 production of Urban Afro Saxons at the Theatre Royal Stratford East was a timely intervention in the public debate about Britishness. The staging of James Baldwin's Blues for Mr Charlie (2004) at the Tricycle Theatre provided a thought-provoking viewing experience for a British audience in the wake of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry. For the Trycicle and Talawa Theatre Company, Randall has staged four of August Wilson's plays. Her most recent theatre project was a production of Mustapha Matura's adaptation of Chekhov's Three Sisters at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 2006.2 However, Paulette Randall also has a professional life outside the theatre, where she makes her impact on the landscape of British sitcoms as a television producer. The following interview focuses not so much on specific productions, but more generally on her views on television, Britain's theatre culture, and the representations of Britain's diverse society.

  • Black and Asian Theatre in Britain a History
    Black and Asian Theatre in Britain A History Edited by Colin Chambers First published 2011 ISBN 13: 978-0-415-36513-0 (hbk) ISBN 13: 978-0-415-37598-6 (pbk) Chapter 8 ‘All a we is English’ Colin Chambers CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 8 ‘All A WE IS English’1 Britain under Conservative rule in the 1980s and for much of the 1990s saw black and Asian theatre wax and then wane, its growth the result of earlier forces’ coming to a head and its falling away a consequence of cuts allied to a state-driven cultural project that celebrated the individual over the collective and gave renewed impetus to aggressive, narrow nationalism. How to survive while simultaneously asserting the heterodox, hybrid nature of non-white theatre and its contribution to British theatre was the urgent challenge. Within two years of the Thatcher government’s election to power in 1979, Britain saw perhaps the most serious rioting of its postwar era, which led to major developments in public diversity policy, though less significant change at the level of delivery. The black community could no longer be taken for granted and was demanding its rights as British citizens. The theatre group that epitomized this new urgency and resilience and the need to adapt to survive was the Black Theatre Co-operative (BTC).2 The group was founded by Mustapha Matura and white director Charlie Hanson in 1978 after Hanson had failed to interest any theatres in Welcome Home Jacko, despite Matura’s standing as the leading black playwright of his generation.

  • 1968 | 2018 Protest, Performance and the Public Sphere
    1968 | 2018 Protest, Performance and the Public Sphere an interdisciplinary symposium hosted by the Department of Theatre & Performance Studies University of Warwick 7-9 June 2018 in association with The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center, the Graduate Center, CUNY Cultures of the Left: Manifestations and Performances Warwick Performance and Politics Network Warwick Arts Centre Contents CONFERENCE PREMISE - 3 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS - 4 - KEYNOTE SPEAKERS - 5 - SPECIAL EVENTS - 8 - HOUSEKEEPING - 10 - EXPLORING THE AREA - 12 - PROGRAMME - 14 - - 2 - Conference Premise In 1968 a wave of popular protest swept across Europe, India and North and South America. It was accompanied by demonstrations, interventions and performances, and marked the irruption of political protest in the public sphere in a way that changed culture, thinking and policy. Recent events have seen a resurgence of the popular voice (as evidenced variously, for instance, in the outcomes of the Brexit referendum, the US and French presidential elections, events in Catalonia, and the Hindutva political narrative in India). They have been accompanied by a sense of crisis concerning civic and political process, and the galvanising of radical public protest of different kinds. In view of the fiftieth anniversary of les événements and the various socio-political actions of 1968, this symposium asks what we can learn from these events. It considers what resonance 1968 has for contemporary political movements, how ‘the public’ engages with political process in current scenarios, and the extent to which popular protest, performative intervention and the public sphere are intertwined today. It also examines how civic and political change come about. What difference does protest make, and how does it get performed in specific political contexts? The symposium programme includes a visit to Trying It On at Warwick Arts Centre, the world premiere of a solo show written and performed by David Edgar.

  • Theatre Access
    ACCESS MATTERS Welcome to our Winter 2017 Access Matters, where you can find out about our access provision and our forthcoming assisted performances. Old stories are so often the ones we return to again and again to make sense of the world around us. As our Rome collection of plays continues into autumn, we see how Shakespeare, his contemporaries and modern writers also seek inspiration in history and myth to fuel stories that still resonate in 2017. Rome Season Director, Angus Jackson, returns to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre with the last of Shakespeare’s Roman plays, Coriolanus. Sope Dirisu – a rising talent who originally emerged through our very own Open Stages programme – is an exciting Coriolanus. Another new voice emerges in the Swan Theatre: Kimberley Sykes, Associate Director on our Dream 16 tour makes her RSC directorial debut with Christopher Marlowe’s tragedy, Dido, Queen of Carthage. Our Swan Theatre season continues with a new adaptation of Robert Harris’ epic Cicero trilogy by Mike Poulton (Wolf Hall/Bring Up the Bodies). This thrilling political saga tells the story of the rise Communications Design by RSC Visual and fall of the great Roman orator, Cicero. Ovid was Shakespeare’s favourite poet and references to these classical stories litter his plays. We have lost our cultural familiarity with many of these and I feel passionate about reigniting our understanding of these wonderful fables. Over three weeks, eight events will explore Ovid’s stories from many angles. New voices resound around The Other Place once again with two Mischief Festivals. The first, in May, sees the return to the RSC of writer Tom Morton-Smith (Oppenheimer, 2015) and the co-writing debut of Matt Hartley and Kirsty Housley with a double bill of provocative short plays.

  • Black British Plays Post World War II -1970S by Professor Colin
    Black British Plays Post World War II -1970s By Professor Colin Chambers Britain’s postwar decline as an imperial power was accompanied by an invited but unprecedented influx of peoples from the colonized countries who found the ‘Mother Country’ less than welcoming and far from the image which had featured in their upbringing and expectation. For those who joined the small but growing black theatre community in Britain, the struggle to create space for, and to voice, their own aspirations and views of themselves and the world was symptomatic of a wider struggle for national independence and dignified personal survival. While radio provided a haven, exploiting the fact that the black body was hidden from view, and amateur or semi-professional club theatres, such as Unity or Bolton’s, offered a few openings, access to the professional stage was severely restricted, as it was to television and film. The African-American presence in successful West End productions such as Anna Lucasta provided inspiration, but also caused frustration when jobs went to Americans. Inexperience was a major issue - opportunities were scarce and roles often demeaning. Following the demise of Robert Adams’s wartime Negro Repertory Theatre, several attempts were made over the next three decades to rectify the situation in a desire to learn and practice the craft. The first postwar steps were taken during the 1948 run of Anna Lucasta when the existence of a group of black British understudies allowed them time to work together. Heeding a call from the multi-talented Trinidadian Edric Connor, they formed the Negro Theatre Company to mount their own productions and try-outs, such as the programme of variety and dramatic items called Something Different directed by Pauline Henriques.

Professor Lynette Hunter, with Peter Lichtenfels I will approach the question of the survival of cross-cultural theatre in Britain in 3 ways: I would like to look first, at the welcome (or not) given to international theatre that visits the UK, particularly European theatre, second, at the place of theatre from a variety of cultural traditions flourishing in the UK as a result of immigration in the second half of this centu~, and third, at the export of British theatre to an international setting. In the first lecture of this 1998-99 sefies I spoke of some of the changes to the funding of British Theatre in the 80s, and their impact on the distinctive waves of new plays and classic revivals from the 70s to the present day.
