    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.

  • Guildford School of Acting, University of Surrey
    As If ROBERT SHAUGHNESSY Guildford School of Acting, University of Surrey A couple of years ago I travelled from Canterbury to Nottingham to see Propeller’s Pocket Dream. This is, as the company’s publicity describes it, “a sixty-minute version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, especially devised for young audiences,” one that aimed to “create a relaxed and engaging atmosphere… as well as encouraging the young audience to give an open and uninhibited response.” As I am currently engaged in research into the increasingly prevalent phenomenon of Relaxed Perfor- mance, I was naturally interested to see how this might work. Relaxed Performance (or RP), for those unfamiliar with the term, is something that has begun to be offered by many theaters in the UK in recent years; designed primarily though not exclusively for young persons with au- tistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and their carers, an RP is one in which the usual protocols of audience behavior, and, sometimes, aspects of the show itself, will be adjusted to accommodate the needs of the condition. Thus, audience members are free to move about, to enter and leave the auditorium as necessary, and to make noise—this might well involve vociferous and blunt commentary on the show itself—and lighting and sound levels are adjusted to reflect autistic sensitivities. The idea is that RP encourages participation in an activity by a group that is habitually excluded from it, or that excludes itself from it; the understanding is that non-autistic, or, to use the terminology, neurotypical as opposed to neurodivergent, members of an RP show accept behavior that in usual circumstances would be censured or suppressed (Kempe).1 I had already seen Pocket Dream in Canterbury three weeks earlier, and knew what to expect: a fast-paced, cartoonish, sometimes puerile, genially enjoyable production, staged in a chalk circle with costume rails, tea chests, stepladders and assorted percussion, delivered by an all-male cast of six.
