Each season TA premieres new plays of internationally acclaimed directors, such as Ivo van Hove, Thomas Ostermeier, Johan Simons, Luk Perceval and Grzegorz Jarzyna, but also provides opportunities for new directing talent.

The Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam poses as TA’s home base, but the group travels throughout the Netherlands and abroad. TA operates internationally with organizations such as Brooklyn ‘His work is unique, raw, shocking, surprising, Academy of Music, Schaubühne Berlin, Barbican London and Holland Festival.

Gibt es dabei Grenzen des Verstehens? Ist es nicht nur möglich, sondern auch nötig, vom Leid anderer zu erzählen? Diesen Fragen geht Carolin Emcke in ihrem neuesten Buch »Weil es sagbar ist. Über Zeugenschaft und Gerechtigkeit« nach. Ihre Essays sind der Ausgangspunkt für ein Gespräch mit dem Künstlerischen Leiter der Schaubühne, Thomas need Ostermeier, über den Einbruch der Wirklichkeit in die Fiktion, blinde Flecken in Theater und Journa- lismus, tabuisierte gesellschaftliche Konflikte und die Möglichkeit, die Welt erzählend zu verändern. Carolin Emcke ist freie Publizistin und als Reporterin häufig in Krisengebieten unterwegs. Ihre jour- nalistische Arbeit wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet. Seit 2004 kuratiert und moderiert sie die monatliche Diskussionsreihe »Streitraum« an der Schaubühne. TO: Bei der Lektüre deines letzten Buches »Weil es am Ende des Stücks mit dem Gift umbringen, an dem bereits sagbar ist«, kamen mir drei Assoziationen in den Sinn. Die Hamlet und seine Mutter und alle anderen gestorben sind. Da erste war das Stück »Zerbombt«. Darin zeigt Sarah Kane eine sagt Hamlet voller Verzweiflung: Du darfst dich nicht umbringen.

  • Announcing a VIEW from the BRIDGE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous. One of the great theatrical productions of the decade.” -The London Times DIRECT FROM TWO SOLD-OUT ENGAGEMENTS IN LONDON YOUNG VIC’S OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION OF ARTHUR MILLER’S “A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE” Directed by IVO VAN HOVE STARRING MARK STRONG, NICOLA WALKER, PHOEBE FOX, EMUN ELLIOTT, MICHAEL GOULD IS COMING TO BROADWAY THIS FALL PREVIEWS BEGIN WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21 OPENING NIGHT IS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE Direct from two completely sold-out engagements in London, producers Scott Rudin and Lincoln Center Theater will bring the Young Vic’s critically-acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE to Broadway this fall.

VISUAL MEDIA USE AND INTERMEDIALITY IN SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTIONS By SHARI LYNN FOSTER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Masters of Literature College of Arts and Law School of Humanities Shakespeare Institute University of Birmingham October 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Drawing on archive material, reviews and personal observation, this thesis examines the use of visual media in stage productions of Shakespeare’s plays. Utilizing examples from the period between 1905 and 2007, the thesis focuses on intermedial productions, explores the media use in Shakespeare productions, and asks why certain Shakespeare plays seem to be more adaptable to the inclusion of visual media. Chapter one considers the technology and societal shifts affecting the theatre art and the audience and Klaus Bruhn Jensen’s three level definition of intermediality which provides a framework for the categorizing the media usage within Shakespeare productions.

  • Richard III an Incarnation of Absolute Evil, As Ugly of Body As He Is Dark of Soul: So Is King Richard Often Perceived
    RICHARD III An incarnation of absolute evil, as ugly of body as he is dark of soul: so is King Richard often perceived. Able to seduce with his words, this student of I EN Machiavelli is a genius manipulator who positions himself at the heart of all the bloodiest political machinations that take place at the court of England. A poisonous and perverted hero, he is as fascinating as Iago or Lady Macbeth, and the centuries haven’t made him any less mysterious. Thomas Ostermeyer is the latest to tackle Shakespeare’s play, in a new translation by Marius von Mayenburg that changes English verses into German prose to keep as close to the text’s meaning as possible and paint the portrait of a Richard III who, more than just a serial killer, also reveals the instincts hidden inside every man. This king-actor, played by Lars Eidinger, uses his gifts to do on the stage what we might want to do, sometimes, in our lives. He creates with the audience a troubling complicity that gives another meaning to this bloody, disturbing, and overwhelming epic. Once again, Thomas Ostermeier manages to turn the theatre stage into the place where the past can become the present. Show premiered on 7 February, 2015 at Schaubühne, Berlin (Germany). THOMAS OSTERMEIER After studying direction in Berlin in the 1980s, Thomas Ostermeier’s name first appeared on the map when he was appointed artistic director of the Baracke at the Deutsches Theater, where he worked from 1996 to 1999. There, he directed plays by modern German and English-speaking playwrights, to great acclaim.

  • GLENDA FRANK in New York Revivals, One Path to Make Broadway
    GLENDA FRANK in New York Revivals, one path to make Broadway great again, are an acid test for directors, who have the choice of honouring the time period, updating the issues or stamping their signature on a revered work. With minimalist like Ivo Van Hove, you can anticipate what the evening will bring. With other directors, it’s more of a mystery. Like fine wine, Falsettos (1992 Tony Award), at the Walter Kerr Theatre, has improved with age. The first act, titled March of the Falsettos, is as accomplished as Sweeney Todd. The story by director James Lapine and William Finn (score and lyrics) begins when Marvin (Christian Borle) leaves Trina, his wife (Stephanie J. Block), and 12-year-old son (Anthony Rosenthal) for Whizzer (Andrew Rannells). Everyone’s perspective is given a voice -- and a poignant, creative freshness. The familiar songs (Trina’s “I’m Breaking Down,” the choral “Everyone Tells Jason to See a Psychiatrist”) are unconditionally appealing. The full-cast, neon-costumed “March of the Falsettos” is spectacular, funny, and healing. These are people you care about, struggling toward happiness. Focus shifts in Act II. The power of Falsettoland is more extra-literary, dependent upon your experience with the mysterious AIDS crisis of 1981, but Whizzer’s solo (“You Gotta Die Sometime”) as sung by Rannells is haunting. The moveable cubes and skyscraper cut-outs by set designer David Rockwell and lighting by Jeff Croiter add other creative dimensions. This is a don’t-miss revival. The Front Page, a 1926 comedy by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur about tabloid journalists and an escaped murdered, creaks along pleasantly enough at the Broadhurst Theatre.
