Hall, the founder of England's Royal Shakespeare Company, a multiple Tony Award winner, and an influential force in theater for the past 50 years, is­ remarkably-staging the play for the first time. Fourteen performances of As You Like It will take place in the BAM Harvey Theater (651 Fulton St): Jan 18-22 & 25-29 at 7:30pm, Jan 22 & 29 at 2pm, and Jan 23 & 30 at 3pm. Tickets, priced at $25, 45, 65, and 75, may be purchased by calling BAM Ticket Services at 718.636.4100 or by visiting www.bam.org. This celebrated production features the director 's daughter Rebecca Hall as Rosalind, in a refreshing and critically acclaimed portrayal about which The New York Times exclaimed, "Rosalind has been reborn." According to the UK's Telegraph, "Watching this winning, deeply-felt perfonnance, you have little doubt that you are watching a great stage actress in the making." Rebecca Hall conveys a palpable sorrow in Rosalind's inability to reveal her identity and return Orlando's lov~a sorrow through which the director deftly illuminates the comedy's underlying melancholy. Sir Peter had previously directed his daughter in her professional stage debut-in the 2002 West End revival of George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession-for which the young actress won glowing reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. Attired in a mixture of modem dress and timeless costumes, the production's cast includes Rebecca Callard, Philip Voss, Michael Siberry, Dan Stevens, David Birkin, Freddie Stevenson, Janet Greaves, Charlotte Parry, Nyasha Hatendi, Ronald Femee, Robin Browne, David Barnaby, James Laurenson, James Crossley, Grainne Gillis, Kevin Collins, and Madeleine Huchins . As You Like It premiered in August, 2003 in Bath, England and has been staged in the U.S. at Boston's Wilbur Theater and New Haven's Shubert Theater. The BAM engagement marks its New York premiere. A Los Angeles run will follow at the Ahmanson Theater. Sir Peter Hall is a distinguished director of plays, films, and operas, and marked his fiftieth year as a director in 2003 . He made his debut at the Theatre Royal, Windsor in 1953 and ran the Arts Theatre, London from 1956-59 where his productions included the English language premiere of Beckett's Waiting/or Godot. Peter Hall created the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1960 and opened the RSC' s first London home at the Aldwych Theatre, where his productions included the premiere of Anouilh's Becket (1962) and the opening of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming (1965). Hall resigned as managing director of the company in 1968 but continued to direct plays for it. He succeeded Sir Laurence Olivier as managing director of the Royal National Theatre in 1973, spending fifteen years with the company and moving it into the new theaters on London's South Bank. Among the many plays he directed for the National Theatre were the premieres of Pinter's No Man's Land (1975) and Peter Shaffer's Amadeus (1979). Hall has directed at many of the world's leading opera houses including the Royal Opera House, The Metropolitan Opera, Bayreuth (in a celebrated production of Wagner's Ring Cycle), and the Lyric Opera of Chicago, among others. From 1984-90 he was Artistic Director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera. In 1988 he launched the Peter Hall Company, which has mounted more than 40 productions in London, New York, Europe, and Australia, including a landmark season at the Old Vic. In 2003 the Peter Hall Company began a major collaboration with the Theatre Royal Bath during which Hall directed a unique swnmer season of five plays. Sir Peter Hall was Knighted in 1977 for his services to British Theatre. He has been the recipient of many awards and nominations including two Tony Awards-for The Homecoming in 1967 and Amadeus in 1981-and an Olivier Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1999.

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.

The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. CHAPTER 1 SHYLOCK & PERFORMANCE Such are the controversies which potentially arise from any new production of The Merchant of Venice, that no director or actor can prepare for a fresh interpretation of the character of Shylock without an overshadowing awareness of the implications of getting it wrong. This study is an attempt to describe some of the many and various ways in which productions of The Merchant of Venice have either confronted or side-stepped the daunting theatrical challenge of presenting the most famous Jew in world literature in a play which, most especially in recent times, inescapably lives in the shadow of history. I intend in this performance history to allude to as wide a variety of Shylocks as seems relevant and this will mean paying attention to every production of the play in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, as well as every major production in London since the time of Irving. For reasons of practicality, I have confined my study to the United Kingdom1 and make few allusions to productions which did not originate in either Stratford or London.
