  • June 2015 President: Vice President: Price 50P When Sold Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace
    No. 491 - June 2015 President: Vice President: Price 50p when sold Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace WHAT A SWELL PARTY IT WAS! Liz Schafer reviews Shakespeare’s Birthday Party 2015 This year’s Shakespeare’s Birthday Party was marked by a ‘can do’ spirit of improvisation and the result was a thoroughly enjoyable event. The Old Vic circle bar, where the party is normally held these days, was full of props and so there was no room for the party. Crisis! But Ned Seago, the Old Vic doorman, arranged for the party to be held instead backstage in the rehearsal room. Once the rehearsal room had been commandeered, Nickolas Grace stood outside the theatre greeting guests with his usual charm and directing us to the Webber Street Stage Door entrance. After we had all recovered from the lift, which probably should be granted ancient monument status – it had lovely wooden panelling and a sign sternly warning Maria Friedman with Jamie Parker and The Bard everyone that ‘weight must be evenly distributed’, we were able to relax in the open, airy rehearsal room. This, as members with long memories reminded us, used to be the venue for the VWA parties. I would certainly vote for parties being held there in the future if at all possible. As Nick pointed out, although the floorboards were now sanded down, they were the very ones trodden by stars such as Olivier, Ashcroft, Gielgud in their days at the Vic, when they were in rehearsal. Nick certainly had plenty of interesting memories of working in that room.

  • Annual Review 2011- 2012
    ANNUAL REVIEW2012 2012 was a phenomenal year for the Globe In an Olympic year packed with events throughout the capital, Globe to Globe, our contribution to the London 2012 Festival and the Cultural Olympiad, distinguished itself by its sheer scale, variety and creative ambition. It brought a huge new audience to the theatre and created a wonderfully festive multilingual showcase for Shakespeare, the Globe and London. The festival was recognised in January 2013 with a rare special award from the Critics’ Circle. Our main theatre season, which marked the triumphant return of Mark Rylance and of Original Practices to the Globe, garnered awards and achieved excellent attendance figures. But this was a big season for artistic activity beyond Bankside too, with two West End transfers, a much more extensive touring programme and international premieres of our productions on screen. All this earned us the ‘London Theatre of the Year’ award from The Stage. We are pleased to report that these achievements did nothing to compromise our educational and other activities. This was another ambitious year of teaching and public events and of developments in print and digital publishing. 2012 also brought enhancements to our exhibition and tour and saw the steady WELCOME! expansion of our retail, catering and hospitality operations. But perhaps most excitingly of all, following decades of planning and a period of intense fundraising, work began on the construction of our indoor theatre, now named the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. All this was achieved without government funding and in a climate of financial austerity. ‘ The Globe to Globe season was a one-off, once-in-a- lifetime event that changed the cultural landscape of globe to globe London theatreland in every sense for six weeks last summer.

  • Shakespeare Uncovered Viewing Guide
    © 2013 WNET. All rights reserved. Teaching Colleagues, Shakespeare Uncovered, a six-part series airing on PBS beginning on January 25 th , is a teacher’s dream come true. Each episode gives us something that we teachers almost never get: a compelling, lively, totally accessible journey through and around a Shakespeare play, guided by brilliant and plain-spoken experts--all within one hour. I’m not given to endorsements, but oh, I love this series. Why will we teachers love it and why do we need it? • Because, as we learned from the very start of the Folger Library’s Teaching Shakespeare Institute, teachers tend to be more confident, better teachers if they have greater and deeper knowledge of the plays themselves. • Because no matter what our relationship with the plays – we love them, we struggle with them, we’re tired of teaching the same ones, we’re afraid of some of them – we almost never have the time to learn more about them. We are teachers, after all: always under a deadline, we’re reading, grading, prepping, mindful of the next deadline. (And then there’s the rest of our lives . ) Shakespeare Uncovered is your chance to take a deep, pleasurable dive into a handful of plays—ones you know well, others that may be less familiar to you. In six episodes, Shakespeare Uncovered takes on eight plays: Macbeth, Hamlet, The Tempest, Richard II, Twelfth Night and As You Like It, Henry IV, Part I, and Henry V . The host of each episode has plenty of Shakespeare cred--Ethan Hawke, Jeremy Irons, Joely Richardson and her mom, Vanessa Redgrave, for example--but each wants to learn more about the play.

Department of English Publications. 192. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/englishpub/192 Realism and the Ethics of Risk at the Stratford Shakespeare Festivali The Duchess and her woman die There’s a story about the death of the Duchess of Malfi and her woman, Cariola, at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. In 2006, Peter Hinton, the current Artistic Director of the English company at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and someone known for creating unique, challenging work at the Festival, directed The Duchess of Malfi on Stratford’s Tom Patterson stage; the production that emerged redefined “risk” for a classical company many scholars and popular critics have long characterized as notoriously risk-averse. Its aesthetic was Renaissance Goth, complete with eerie soundscape, low lighting, and heavily stylized costumes (including couture-like exaggerated farthingales); the show began dark (much to the chagrin of reviewers) and grew only darker. As actress Laura Condlln (Cariola) noted to me in an interview in July 2010, this was a world of utter savagery, a world in which nobody – not even audiences – could be safe. While the only previous Duchess at Stratford (in 1971, directed by Jean Gascon and starring Pat Galloway) had been characterized by a “pretty” aesthetic (Peacock, Personal interview), this one was, above all else, deeply unsettling.

    PRODUCTION SUPPORT IS GENEROUSLY PROVIDED BY SYLVIA D. CHROMINSKA, DR. DESTA LEAVINE IN MEMORY OF PAULINE LEAVINE, SYLVIA SOYKA, THE WESTAWAY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION AND BY JACK WHITESIDE LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Welcome to the Stratford Festival. It is a great privilege to gather and share stories on this beautiful territory, which has been the site of human activity — and therefore storytelling — for many thousands of years. We wish to honour the ancestral guardians of this land and its waterways: the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Attiwonderonk. Today many Indigenous peoples continue to call this land home and act as its stewards, and this responsibility extends to all peoples, to share and care for this land for generations to come.

  • 1 Henry V, Performed by the Illyria Theatre Company at Winchester
    Henry V, performed by the Illyria Theatre Company at Winchester Cathedral, June 21 2012, and on tour. Geoff Ridden Southern Oregon University [email protected] Directed by Oliver Gray. With James Dangerfield (Henry V, Nym), Ben Goodridge (Pistol, Dolphin, Mountjoy, Archbishop Canterbury, Queen of France), Ffion Glyn (Katherine, Fluellen, Constable of France, Bardolph), Kevin James, (Gloucester, Gower, King of France, Boy, Alice), Andrew Lindfield (Essex, Mrs Quickly, Orleans). All other roles by members of the company. According to an article by Alice Jones in The Independent on July 19 2012, there was, at that moment, a ‘horde of Henrys currently cutting a swathe through theatres’: Propeller has just brought its macho take back to Hampstead Theatre after a national tour, the Iraq war inspires a modern-day version at the Old Red Lion theatre in north London, while Theatre Delicatessen’s Falklands-flavoured promenade production has just ended a run in a former BBC building on Marylebone High Street. And last month the Michael Grandage Company announced that Jude Law has signed up to play the monarch in the West End next year.1 It is, perhaps, understandable that, in listing 2012 productions of Henry V, Jones should fail to mention productions at two major North American Shakespeare Festivals in Ashland, Oregon and in Stratford, Ontario, but more surprising that she should not include the jewel of a British touring production by the five-person Illyria Company. 2012 marked the twentieth season of outdoor productions by this company, and I have been pleased to see not only their Shakespearean productions, but also their adaptations 1 Alice Jones, ‘We Happy Two: Jamie Parker and Tom Hiddleston Tackle Shakespeare’s Henry V’.
