Caryl Churchill's Caryl Churchill’s CLOUD NINE PROJECTS PACK compiled by Beckie Mills and Rebecca Manson Jones I to the Almeida Theatre’s production of Cloud Welcome n Nine by Caryl Churchill. As we write, the production is in preview period, a week t during which the director, cast and creative team make changes r after each performance in response to the audience reaction (is o the story clear?) fine tune the design (lighting, music, sound), costume changes whilst the actors and the stage crew get used d to bringing all the elements which form a successful show together. It is a very busy time as rehearsals and technical calls take place during the day with a performance in the evening. u Why do we go to all this trouble? Our aim as a company is to c present an eclectic mixture of high quality theatre so that the plays are revealed in a fresh light. Caryl Churchill’s modern t classic CLOUD NINE is an extraordinary play and we’ve found in i the last few weeks that its strength lies as much in its richness as o a piece of stagecraft as it does in the notoriety of its themes. n Set in colonial Africa and late 20th century Britain, the play explores relationships – between women and men, men and men, women and women. It is about sex, work, mothers, Africa, power, children, grandmothers, politics, money and Queen Victoria presented in an unforgettable juxtaposition of satire, farce, high and low comedy and uncompromising prose that is as funny and as disturbing as when it first appeared on our stage in the 1980s. Director Thea Sharrock and playwright Caryl Churchill have kept to the original settings, allowing us to look back to the eras of Colonialism and to just before the Thatcher government: a time when mothers started to return to work and women started to get equal pay, when young couples started to live together unmarried, and gays and lesbians began to live openly - the moment just before the Falklands War, the Miners’ Strike, Live Aid and the world pandemic AIDS. For today’s students, the play opens up the challenges and the choices which confronted their parents and grandparents and asks us to consider: How tolerant are we? Where do our taboos lie? What freedoms do we have that we didn’t have before? What has been lost? What responsibilities must we take on now? Since beginning rehearsals in September, the Almeida Theatre Company has been delighting in the questions and the zest for life that this play explores and we very much hope that you and your students are able to draw energy both from its ideas and the skill with which they are presented. We look forward to welcoming you to the Almeida soon. Note: Rebecca Manson Jones Quotations from the play are contained in this pack which Director, Almeida Projects sometimes include explicit references to sex acts and sexu- ally explicit language, or racist attitudes exprssed by some characters as members of the British colonial establishment in the Victorian era. Almeida Projects: Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill 2 C PROJECTS PACK This packprovides an insight into our process in taking the pro- duction from research stage to performance. We hope you will o use it help you in your own investigations into the play both before and after your visit to the Almeida. This pack contains n quotations from the play which use strong language. t ALMEIDA PROJECTS e Under the artistic directorship of Michael Attenborough, the Almeida presents an eclectic programme, ranging from n redefined major classics to the cutting edge of brand new work. Our Projects reflect the main programme's ambition by finding ways to challenge and excite our participants about the work you t come to see at the Almeida. We hope to inspire you to approach s your own theatre work in the same spirit of generosity and risk-taking that we encourage in our rehearsal room. Workshops Before you see the production, one of our Projects Team will be visiting you for a workshop, bringing some of the techniques explored in the rehearsal room, the challenges the play presents and some questions. The sessions are designed to be practical and participatory so please come energised, ready to work and wearing appropriate clothes and shoes. Hosts When you come to the theatre, you will be met by one of the Projects Team who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to your feedback about the production. Please do take advantage of this opportunity to find out more about how the production has evolved. Thanks to all of the creative team and the cast who have been so generous in their enthusiasm and support of the Projects work.

Shakespeare and the Cultural Olympiad: Contesting Gender and the British Nation in the BBC's The Hollow Crown L. Monique Pittman, Andrews University Abstract As part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad celebrating both the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, the BBC launched a season of programs, entitled Shakespeare Unlocked, most notably presenting the plays of the second tetralogy in four feature-length adaptations released under the unifying title The Hollow Crown. These plays so obviously engaged with the question of English nationalism suited a year in which the United Kingdom wrestled with British identity in a post-colonial and post-Great Recession world. Through its adaptative and filmic vocabularies, however, The Hollow Crown advances a British nationalism unresponsive to the casualties — often women and ethnic minorities — incurred over the course of Britain's self-formation and acts of self-defining.

    LINGUACULTURE 1, 2014 THE HOLLOW CROWN:SHAKESPEARE, THE BBC, AND THE 2012 LONDON OLYMPICS RUTH M ORSE Université-Paris-Diderot Abstract During the summer of 2012, and to coincide with the Olympics, BBC2 broadcast a series called The Hollow Crown, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s second tetralogy of English history plays. The BBC commission was conceived as part of the Cultural Olympiad which accompanied Britain’s successful hosting of the Games that summer. I discuss the financial, technical, aesthetic, and political choices made by the production team, not only in the context of the Coalition government (and its attacks on the BBC) but also in the light of theatrical and film tradition. I argue that the inclusion or exclusion of two key scenes suggest something more complex and balanced that the usual nationalism of the plays'; rather, the four nations are contextualised to comprehend and acknowledge the regions – apropos not only in the Olympic year, but in 2014's referendum on the Union of the crowns of England/Wales and Scotland. Keywords: Shakespeare, BBC, adaptation, politics, Britishness During the summer of 2012, to coincide with the London summer Olympics, BBC2 broadcast a series called The Hollow Crown, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s second tetralogy of English history plays. An additional series, Shakespeare Unlocked, accompanied each play with a program fronted by a lead actor discussing the play and the process, illustrated by clips from the plays in which they had appeared (“The Hollow Crown”). The producer was the Neal Street Production Company in the person of Sam Mendes, a well-known stage and cinema director, celebrated not least for an Oscar for American Beauty, a rare honour for a first-time film director.

Named Osita, which is of Nigerian origin and M means “from today onwards it will be better”, the white rhino calf was rescued soon after being born on New Year’s Eve last year when his mother mistook another calf for her own and abandoned him. He has been reared by a team of careers who have been with him 24/7. It was decided to bring in a goat to try to teach the little rhino calf how to graze. Bokkie the goat came from a local farm and has now formed a special friendship with her big friend. She was very scared when she arrived with these big eyes. Now they are two peas in a pod, and if he goes somewhere without her, she screams blue murder. I just love this unique story and will continue to monitor it as time goes by, as I would be over the moon when he is re-introduced into the wild. This will hopefully happen when he is about 3 years old. That would be a very special achievement from a very devoted group of people.
