  • PROGRAM the TEMPEST Actors from the London Stage
    PROGRAM THE TEMPEST Actors From The London Stage Thursday, February 27, 2020; 7 pm Friday, February 28, 2020; 7 pm Saturday, February 29, 2020; 7 pm Media Sponsor The Actors From The London Stage residency at the University of Notre Dame is generously supported by the McMeel Family Endowment for Excellence for Actors From The London Stage, the Paul Eulau Endowment for Excellence for Actors From The London Stage, the Deborah J. Loughrey Endowment for Excellence in Shakespeare Studies, the D & J Smith Endowment for Shakespeare and Performance, and the College of Arts and Letters. THE AFTLS APPROACH For most of his working life, William Shakespeare was a sharer in the King’s Men, London’s leading theatre company. He knew the actors he was writing for and collaborated with them on seeing the plays into performance. All theatre is a collaboration, of course, and while actors can no longer collaborate directly with Shakespeare, the Actors From The London Stage (AFTLS) company always aims to work with him, respectfully and creatively, throughout the rehearsal process. Our company’s aim is to make his words exert their magic and their power in performance, but we do this in a vital, and perhaps unconventional, way. We have no massive sets to tower over the performers and no directorial concept to tower over the text of Shakespeare’s play. In fact, AFTLS does not have a director at all; instead, the play has been rehearsed by the actors, working together to create theatre, cooperating with each other in their imaginative engagement with the play’s words.

  • Shakespeare in Production Othello
    Cambridge University Press 0521834589 - Othello Edited by Julie Hankey Frontmatter More information SHAKESPEARE IN PRODUCTION OTHELLO This second edition of Othello updates the first (Bristol Classical Press, 1987), both chronologically and conceptually. It includes consideration of productions from the last seventeen years, and reconsiders earlier material in the light of more recent critical attitudes. Post-colonial and feminist studies have had an impact on the way Othello is perceived and inter- preted. The question of blacked-up/black/colour-blind casting and the significance of white and/or black audiences in different political and racial contexts have recently become much more clearly articulated. In the pro- cess, Shakespeare himself has not escaped the charge of racism. Equally, the position of Desdemona has received more focused attention, both as the forbidden object of desire within a racial framework and as a woman in her own right. This edition takes account of these developments in criticism, in the theatre, on film and in the adaptations which set out to interrogate Shakespeare’s text. julie hankey is a freelance writer and one of the General Editors of the ‘Shakespeare in Production’ series. She contributed the theatre-historical editions of Richard III and Othello, before the series was adopted by Cam- bridge University Press, and has also contributed articles to Shakespeare Quarterly and New Theatre Quarterly. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521834589 - Othello Edited by Julie Hankey Frontmatter More information SHAKESPEARE IN PRODUCTION series editors: j. s. bratton and julie hankey This series offers students and researchers the fullest possible stage his- tories of individual Shakespearean texts.

  • Qoyal Company
    MEMBERS OF THE QOYAL ~tiAK E~DEAQE COMPANY KENNEDY THEATRE MARCH 4- 5 -6, 1976 ~ The EAST-WEST CENTER March, 1976 Founded in 1879, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre was called the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre until 1961 when it was incor­ porated under Royal Charter with the Queen as Patron. The Royal Shakespeare Company are d ivided for most of each year, playing concurrently at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace, and at the Aldwych Theatre in London. Shakespeare is the Company's main concern, but performances of other classical and modern plays bridge the gap between Shakespeare and the contemporary theatre. The members of the Royal Shakespeare Company appearing this evening are not only talented actor s, directors and musicians, but they are also g ifted teachers. During this week in Honolulu, they have bee.n conducting workshops, holding seminars and giving lectures at the East-West Cente r, at the Univers ity of Hawaii and in the Honolulu community. During the last two years, the Culture Learning Institute has presented exhibitions of paintings from the Republic of China and from Korea, a demonstration of the Martial Arts of Japan, a lecrure and demonstration of baton-twirling as practiced in the United States, readings of Indonesian and Malaysian poetry and performances of classical Chinese Opera, Balinese Puppetry, Thai music, Indones ian, Malays ian and Australian Aboriginal Dance and Jazz--East and West. These presentations have given us invaluable insights into the creative expressions and values of different culll.Jres . We are forrunate to have with u s this week a distinguished group of artists who will remind us of some of the riches of the Elizabethan theatre and of the British culll.Jral heritage.
