  • Announcing a VIEW from the BRIDGE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous. One of the great theatrical productions of the decade.” -The London Times DIRECT FROM TWO SOLD-OUT ENGAGEMENTS IN LONDON YOUNG VIC’S OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION OF ARTHUR MILLER’S “A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE” Directed by IVO VAN HOVE STARRING MARK STRONG, NICOLA WALKER, PHOEBE FOX, EMUN ELLIOTT, MICHAEL GOULD IS COMING TO BROADWAY THIS FALL PREVIEWS BEGIN WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21 OPENING NIGHT IS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE Direct from two completely sold-out engagements in London, producers Scott Rudin and Lincoln Center Theater will bring the Young Vic’s critically-acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE to Broadway this fall.

VISUAL MEDIA USE AND INTERMEDIALITY IN SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTIONS By SHARI LYNN FOSTER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Masters of Literature College of Arts and Law School of Humanities Shakespeare Institute University of Birmingham October 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

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.

  • GLENDA FRANK in New York Revivals, One Path to Make Broadway
    GLENDA FRANK in New York Revivals, one path to make Broadway great again, are an acid test for directors, who have the choice of honouring the time period, updating the issues or stamping their signature on a revered work. With minimalist like Ivo Van Hove, you can anticipate what the evening will bring. With other directors, it’s more of a mystery. Like fine wine, Falsettos (1992 Tony Award), at the Walter Kerr Theatre, has improved with age. The first act, titled March of the Falsettos, is as accomplished as Sweeney Todd. The story by director James Lapine and William Finn (score and lyrics) begins when Marvin (Christian Borle) leaves Trina, his wife (Stephanie J. Block), and 12-year-old son (Anthony Rosenthal) for Whizzer (Andrew Rannells). Everyone’s perspective is given a voice -- and a poignant, creative freshness. The familiar songs (Trina’s “I’m Breaking Down,” the choral “Everyone Tells Jason to See a Psychiatrist”) are unconditionally appealing. The full-cast, neon-costumed “March of the Falsettos” is spectacular, funny, and healing. These are people you care about, struggling toward happiness. Focus shifts in Act II. The power of Falsettoland is more extra-literary, dependent upon your experience with the mysterious AIDS crisis of 1981, but Whizzer’s solo (“You Gotta Die Sometime”) as sung by Rannells is haunting. The moveable cubes and skyscraper cut-outs by set designer David Rockwell and lighting by Jeff Croiter add other creative dimensions. This is a don’t-miss revival. The Front Page, a 1926 comedy by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur about tabloid journalists and an escaped murdered, creaks along pleasantly enough at the Broadhurst Theatre.

  • The Lehman Trilogy
    Park Avenue Armory, in collaboration with the National Theatre and Neal Street Productions, brings The Lehman Trilogy, by Stefano Massini, adapted by Ben Power, and directed by Sam Mendes to the Wade Thompson Dill Hall, following a sold-out run at the National Theatre Master actors Adam Godley, Ben Miles, and Simon Russell Beale will reprise their critically- acclaimed roles March 22 – April 20, 2019 Simon Russell Beale, Ben Miles and Adam Godley in The Lehman Trilogy at the National Theatre. Photo by Mark Douet. New York, NY – September 12, 2018 – In March 2019, Park Avenue Armory – in collaboration with the National Theatre and Neal Street Productions – will present the North American premiere of The Lehman Trilogy. Told in three parts in a single evening, the production will unfold in the 1 soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall from March 22 through April 20, 2019 in a strictly limited engagement. Directed by Sam Mendes, The Lehman Trilogy weaves through nearly two centuries of Lehman lineage, following the brothers Henry, Emanuel, and Mayer Lehman from their 1844 arrival in New York City to the 2008 collapse of the financial firm bearing their name. Adam Godley, Ben Miles, and Simon Russell Beale play the Lehman brothers, and a cast of characters including their sons and grandsons. As the inaugural production of the 2019 season, The Lehman Trilogy builds on the Armory’s history of presenting bold and engaging theater productions that explore the unexpected possibilities of the cross-genre cultural institution. The world premiere of Stefano Massini’s The Lehman Trilogy opened at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan in 2015.

  • Tokyo Arts Festival, 2017, and International Shakespeare Productions
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2019, Vol. 9, No. 1, 141-148 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.01.013 D DAVID PUBLISHING Tokyo Arts Festival, 2017, and International Shakespeare Productions Tomoe KOMINE Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan In 2017, the Tokyo Arts Festival invited theatre directors from three geographical locations to direct Shakespeare’s plays: The British director John Caird directed Hamlet, the Romanian director Silviu Purcārete directed Richard III, and the Belgian director Ivo Van Hove directed a Dutch Othello. They approached Shakespeare’s plays from unique perspectives, using their own native or Japanese language, working with Japanese and foreign actors and staff. They were performed in Tokyo and watched by various audiences. This paper examines the interactive effect of international theatre and the Tokyo Arts Festival and argues that Shakespeare, being a common currency in the world, functions as media for the Festival, and vice versa. While the Festival provides opportunities and support for foreign directors and companies, staging of international Shakespeare productions raises the profile of the Festival and promotes artistic and cultural programmes and exchange internationally. The audience also has much to gain: the Festival allows them to experience cultural differences and a reflection of themselves or of the world in works of art. The paper argues that the differences created in the international Shakespearean productions and realized and experienced by the audience are the essence of the theatre and meaning and value of the Festival. Keywords: Tokyo Arts Festival, international theatre, Shakespeare, John Caird, Silviu Purcārete, Ivo Van Hove Literature Review Shakespeare is read and produced in many languages and countries.
