Her biggest fan. Young, beautiful Eve. The golden girl, the girl next door. But you know all about Eve…don’t you…? Ivo van Hove directs Gillian Anderson and Lily James in his new adaptation of All About Eve, a razor-sharp, unsettling exposé of the eternal obsession at the heart of show-business. Lifting the curtain on a world of jealousy and ambition, this new production, from one of the world’s most innovative theatre directors, asks why our fascination with celebrity, youth and identity never seems to get old.

OPerhaps you don’t believe in the Biblical narrative (with which Stephen Schwartz, as composer and storyteller, takes consider- production of able liberties), but you might have children and find “Father’s” hopes and desires for his children relatable. Or perhaps you have siblings. You certainly have parents. And so, one way or another, you’re included in this story. It’s about you. It’s about all of us. It’s about our frailties and foibles, our struggles and failures, and it’s about our curiosity, ambitions and determination to live life the way we choose. It is also, like the Bible itself, ultimately a story about hope, love and redemption. When we don’t measure up, it takes someone else’s love us to lift us up. The meaning and message in all of this is timeless, and so director Cailey McCandless cast a vision for the show that unmoors it from ancient settings. And you might notice there are very few parallel lines in the show’s design... mostly intersecting angles, because life and our relationships tend to work that way.

  • 'Cumberbatch' Hamlet (1):'The Very Age and Body of the Time His Form
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Worcester Research and Publications The ‘Cumberbatch’ Hamlet (1):‘The very age and body of the time his form and pressure’ Boika Sokolova University of Notre Dame (U.S.A.) in England Nicoleta Cinpoeş University of Worcester, UK Abstract: This essay reads Lyndsey Turner’s 2015 Hamlet at the Barbican Theatre in London against the production’s priorities, namely, being star, new audience and box- office driven. It explores the negotiation of the script, space and politics at the heart of this production. Giving its due when discussing the cinematic employment of cuts, editing, lighting and freeze frames, it acknowledges that some of the special effects were lost to the theatre spectator, per force cast in a secondary role in a production that prioritised live-streaming across the world. Keywords: Cumberbatch, Turner, cinematic, politics, action design, Hamlet, Ophelia, Gertrude Corresponding author: Dr Nicoleta Cinpoeş Institute of Humanities and Creative Arts Bredon Building Henwick Grove Worcester WR2 6AJ UK [email protected] This assessment comes more than a year after the much hyped production of Hamlet with Benedict Cumberbatch took stage and screens by storm. The delay has afforded us the comfort of the longer view, after the dust of the media hysteria has settled, as have our own emotional responses to the production, directed by Lyndsey Turner, which we saw in different venues.1 As audience members and as reviewers here, we inevitably bring to the table our own Hamlet experiences, which are informed by a broader European tradition of the play in performance and adaptation.
