Rabillard, Supervisor (Department of English) Dr. Janelle Jenstad, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Michael Best, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Annalee Lepp, Outside Member (Department of Women’s Studies) Abstract The temptation to meddle with Shakespeare has proven irresistible to playwrights since the Restoration and has inspired some of the most reviled and most respected works of theatre. Nahum Tate’s tragic-comic King Lear (1681) was described as an execrable piece of dementation, but played on London stages for one hundred and fifty years. David Garrick was equally tempted to adapt King Lear in the eighteenth century, as were the burlesque playwrights of the nineteenth. In the twentieth century, the meddling continued with works like King Lear’s Wife (1913) by Gordon Bottomley and Dead Letters (1910) by Maurice Baring.

    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.

By the time we return to Stratford in 2010 these actors will have been working together for over a year, and equipped to bring you a rich repertoire of eight Shakespeare productions as well as our new dramatisation of Morte D’Arthur, directed by Gregory Doran. As last year’s work grows and deepens with the investment of time, so new productions arrive from our exciting new Noma Dumezweni Dyfan Dwyfor Associate Directors David Farr and Rupert Goold, who open the Phillip Edgerley Christine Entwisle season with King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. Later, our new Artistic Associate Kathryn Hunter plays her first Shakespearean title role with the RSC in my production of Antony and Cleopatra, and we follow the success of our Young People’s The Comedy of Errors with a Hamlet conceived and directed by our award winning playwright in residence, Tarell Alvin McCraney.

    Authorial Rights, Part II

    AUT H O R I A L RIG H T S, PAR T II Early Shakespeare Critics and the Authorship Question Robert Detobel ❦ It had been a thing, we confess, worthy to have been wished, that the author himself had lived to have set forth and overseen his own writings, but since it hath been ordained otherwise and he by death departed from that right, we pray you do not envy his friends the office of their care and pain to have collected and published them, and so to have published them, as where (before) you were abused with diverse stolen and surrepti- tious copies, maimed and deformed by the frauds and stealths of injurious imposters that exposed them, even those are now offered to your view, cured and perfect of their limbs and all the rest absolute in their numbers, as he conceived them. John Heminge and Henry Condell From the preface to the First Folio, 1623 ULY 22, 1598 , the printer, James Roberts, entered The Merchant of Venice in the Stationers’ Register as follows: Iames Robertes Entred for his copie under the handes of bothe the wardens, a booke of the Marchaunt of Venyce or otherwise called the Iewe of Venyce./ Provided that yt bee not printed by the said Iames Robertes; or anye other whatsoever without lycence first had from the Right honorable the lord Chamberlen. Orthodox scholarship can offer no satisfactory explanation for the final clause, which states that the play could not be printed by Roberts, the legal holder of the copyright, nor by any other stationer, without the permission of the Lord Chamberlain.
