  • 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.

  • Perfect Circle: the Story of REM Free
    FREE PERFECT CIRCLE: THE STORY OF REM PDF Tony Fletcher | 480 pages | 10 May 2013 | OMNIBUS PRESS | 9781780386980 | English | London, United Kingdom Perfect Circle (song) - Wikipedia And Tony Fletcher is the man to tell the tale. The early days of the formation of the band in their hometown of Athens, Georgia and their first Perfect Circle: The Story of REM at making music together are covered in detail with references from various friends who saw them through their formative days. They were heavily bolstered by a healthy local music scene which was open to embracing the new wave of sounds together with a healthy student population and college radio network which was prepared to air their music. Of course their dues were paid and their act was honed by playing live and most of the period was spent on the road. Supported by a sympathetic record label in IRS, they were lucky enough to have artistic license even from their early days and it was only when they veered from their Athens comfort zone and relocated to London to record their third album, Fables Of The Reconstructionthat they hit their first stumbling block. It was the break from IRS not an easy decision to make and their deal with Warner Brothers which elevated REM into the big time and one that could be viewed as the end of one era and the start of a new one — older fans maybe being a little more Perfect Circle: The Story of REM about the IRS albums and output whilst the early Warner recordings gained the mass Perfect Circle: The Story of REM and critical acclaim yet still allowed REM to remain a band who worked under their own terms and agenda.

  • Ruth Paskins Villainy and Sexuality
    Ruth Paskins Shakespeare and Selected Dramatists of his Time 16-03-09 How far is ‘sexuality’ the motive and/or the means for the enactment of villainy in Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, Richard III, and Othello, and to what degree is this attractive? The iconic male ‘villains’ of Shakespeare’s works have proved subjects of fascination for generations of theatregoers. This essay will explore the nature of this ‘fascination’ through the medium of ‘sexuality’ as employed by Aaron the Moor (Titus), Richard Gloucester (Richard III) and Iago (Othello). The legacy of the dramatic Vice, the ‘single representative figure of evil’ (Hammond, Anthony 101) from the morality play is key to the examination and understanding of these figures. The characteristics shared by these villains; ‘self-explanation and soliloquy,’ ‘long avoidance, but ultimate suffering of, punishment’ and ‘various signs of depravity such as boasting and conceit, enjoyment of power, immoral sexuality’ (Hammond 101 [emphasis mine]), are a direct borrowing from this figure of Vice. Despite, or perhaps because of his total moral and social depravity, the Vice offered great dramatic opportunities for an actor, and became the ‘star part’, his entrance eagerly anticipated by the audience. This popularity peaked mid-century until around 1580 when, with the advent of sophisticated plots and characters, the role of the Vice diminished in importance (Hammond 100). The sixteenth century audience’s fascination with this manifestation of ‘evil’, however, established a precedent for the ‘attraction’ of, and to, the villain in play and performance texts, an attraction still apparent in popular culture today. The source of this attraction is as mysterious and subjective as the meaning of ‘attraction’ itself.
