Hampstead Theatre Announces Casting for the Intelligent Homosexual’S Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures 19 August 2016 Hampstead Theatre announces casting for The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures THE INTELLIGENT HOMOSEXUAL’S GUIDE TO CAPITALISM AND SOCIALISM WITH A KEY TO THE SCRIPTURES A play by Tony Kushner Directed by Michael Boyd Starring Tamsin Greig Designer Tom Piper Sound designer/ composer David Paul Jones Casting Ginny Schiller Tuesday 18 October – 26 November 2016 Press Night Monday 24 October ‘The best thing I ever did was the worst thing I ever did. And it all came to nothing. It makes no sense to anyone, what we did, it’s written in a language no one reads anymore, it’s… incredible’ Hampstead Theatre presents the UK premiere of Pulitzer prize winning Tony Kushner’s The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures, directed by Olivier award winning Michael Boyd.

Shot through with characteristic wit and searing passion, Tony Kushner’s latest play is the story of a family grappling to find meaning in a landscape they no longer recognise and an epic exploration of humanity’s compulsive search for Utopias, both personal and political. This newly revised draft of the play is the result of last autumn’s development workshop at Hampstead, led by Kushner and Boyd. New York, 2007. Gus Marcantonio, retired longshoreman, former trade union organiser, renaissance man, feels that the world has turned its back on everything he has fought for in life.

    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Royal Shakespeare Company Returns to London's Roundhouse.Pdf
    Royal Shakespeare Company returns to London’s Roundhouse from November 2010 with 10 week season • One company of 44 actors playing 228 roles • Six full-scale Shakespeare productions • Two Young People’s Shakespeares – innovative, distilled productions adapted for young people • Education projects across London and at the Roundhouse • One specially constructed 750-seat thrust stage auditorium – bringing audiences closer to the action – in one iconic venue Following its hugely successful, Olivier award-winning Histories Season in 2008, the RSC returns to London’s Roundhouse in November 2010 to present a ten-week repertoire of eight plays by Shakespeare – six full-scale productions and two specially adapted for children and families. This is the first chance London audiences will have to see the RSC’s current 44-strong ensemble, who have been working together in Stratford-upon-Avon since January 2009. The RSC Ensemble is generously supported by The Gatsby Charitable Foundation and The Kovner Foundation. The season opens with Rupert Goold’s production of Romeo and Juliet and runs in repertoire to 5 February next year, with Michael Boyd’s production of Antony and Cleopatra; The Winter’s Tale directed by David Farr; Julius Caesar directed by Lucy Bailey; As You Like It, directed by Michael Boyd; and David Farr’s King Lear (see end of release for production details at a glance). All six productions have been developed throughout their time in the repertoire and are revised and re-rehearsed with each revival in Stratford, Newcastle, London and finally for next year’s residency in New York. The season also includes the RSC’s two recent Young People’s Shakespeare (YPS) productions created especially for children and families, and inspired by the Stand Up For Shakespeare campaign which calls for more children and young people to See Shakespeare Live, Start Shakespeare Earlier and Do Shakespeare on their Feet – Hamlet, directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney, and The Comedy of Errors (in association with Told by an Idiot), directed by Paul Hunter.

  • University of Nevada, Reno a New Critical Edition of Shakespeare's
    University of Nevada, Reno A New Critical Edition of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus . A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Matthew Trey Jansen Dr. Eric Rasmussen/Dissertation Advisor August, 2013 UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by MATTHEW TREY JANSEN entitled A New Critical Edition of Titus Andronicus be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Eric Rasmussen, Ph.D., Advisor James Marcock, Ph.D., Committee Member Dennis Cronan, Ph.D., Committee Member Kevin Stevens, Ph.D., Committee Member Rob Gander, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School August, 2013 i Abstract In Shakespeare’s first tragedy, Titus Andronicus , the blank spaces are filled by necessary action and constant visual representations of limbless bodies on the stage, which are easily lost on the pages of the text. It is my contention that an edition must offer the best possibility to bridge this gap between the stage and the page, by presenting a text based on the early modern text that is most influenced by the theater. Based on my evaluation of the most recent scholarship, this text is the 1623 First Folio. This choice is a clear break from the editorial tradition of Titus Andronicus , which has been to use the First Quarto as copy text and to insert the stage directions and the “fly scene” from the First Folio. While the First Quarto may represent something closer to what Shakespeare first wrote, the long success of Titus Andronicus on the stage, the addition of the theatrically based directions, and the number of hands involved in the preparation of the text for the Folio offer a more tangible connection to the effects of performance on early modern texts.

Pagliaccio A Thesis in the Field of English Literature for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2016 Copyright 2016 Sarah E. Pagliaccio Abstract Margaret of Anjou, who appears in the four history plays known as the first tetralogy (1-3 Henry VI and Richard III), is unique among William Shakespeare’s characters. Almost the entirety of her life is played out on stage, from her real-life engagement to King Henry VI of England at the age of fourteen to her fictionalized self- banishment to France around age forty-five. Within this singular character, Margaret fulfills the roles of daughter, bride, wife, mother, lover, queen, avenging warrior, and grieving widow—a greater range than any other character in Shakespeare’s work, man or woman. This thesis will argue that Shakespeare intended Margaret to be a central character in the first tetralogy.

I was captivated by the character and the play as a whole. When I began the English Graduate program in Winter 2014 and was asked to choose one cla ssic work of literature to focus on in English 500, I quickly chose King Lear with the intention of researching scholarly material on the three women in the play. What I quickly realized was that there is a wealth of scholarship focused on Cordelia, but very little fo cused on Goneril and Regan. Any mention of Lear’s elder daughters are always as one‐dimensional foils to Cordelia, and always occur off‐handedly, almost as a footnote to what the aut hor finds actually interesting—Cordelia.
