  • Robert Icke, Theatre Director: 'Oresteia? It's Quite Like the Sopranos'
    Robert Icke, theatre director: ‘Oresteia? It’s quite like The Sopranos’ The director of the Almeida’s acclaimed Oresteia on being inspired by Kenneth Branagh, Michael Grandage and Tony Soprano Susannah Clapp 23/8/2015 Robert Icke, 29, is one of the theatre’s most explosive talents. He was associate director of Headlong from 2010 to 2013, and is now the associate director of the Almeida. His productions include Mr Burns and 1984, which he co-adapted with Duncan Macmillan. His tremendous Oresteia has just transferred to the West End. Do you have a theatrical background? No, my mum’s a teacher and my dad’s a tax inspector. What turned you on to directing? It was seeing Kenneth Branagh as Richard III, directed by Michael Grandage at Sheffield. I was 14 and my dad dragged me away from my PlayStation. It was a proper Damascene conversion - really electric. There was no language barrier. I wrote to Michael Grandage and asked him how he did that stuff. He said: if you come and see me I’ll try to tell you. This was before I’d ever been near a proper rehearsal room. He gave me all this advice, which I scribbled down and have been living by ever since. Didn’t you direct at a theatre in Stockton-Tees while you were still at school? That’s where I learnt to do it. It was a very depressed area. You weren’t allowed to be boring: the audience there would just have left. I remember the first performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream when Bottom came on in a donkey’s head with these amazing false teeth made by a local dentist.

  • HAMLET: PRESS RESPONSES Almeida & West End (2017) Shakespeare
    HAMLET: PRESS RESPONSES Almeida & West End (2017) Shakespeare www.roberticke.com FINANCIAL TIMES Ian Shuttleworth ★★★★★ I have been privileged to see several first-class Hamlets this century: Simon Russell Beale, Samuel West, David Tennant, Rory Kinnear, Maxine Peake, arguably Lars Eidinger. Andrew Scott is at least as outstanding as any of those, and right now I’m inclined to rank him in front. His Prince is almost always self-aware, but not self-understanding; on the contrary, his keynote is a kind of bemused wonder at goings-on both within and beyond his skin. The great soliloquies seem new-minted, every word a separate question. The playfulness at which Scott so excels (most notably as Moriarty in BBC-TV’s Sherlock) is here kept under a rigorously tight rein. I did not see this production when it opened at the Almeida a few months ago, but my impression is that neither Scott’s nor anyone else’s performance has been ramped up for a venue two and half times the size; the consequent occasional intelligibility problems are far outweighed by the sense of human scale. For this is the glory of Robert Icke’s production. It does not consist of a superlative Prince Hamlet, a clutch of fine supporting performances and a number of sharp directorial ideas stitched together into a plausible fabric; rather, it is whole and entire of itself. Angus Wright’s cool, disciplined Claudius, Juliet Stevenson’s besotted-then-horrified Gertrude, Jessica Brown Findlay’s Ophelia (at first at sea like Hamlet, finally psychologically shattered in a wheelchair), David Rintoul’s doubling of the Ghost and the Player King .

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.

Almeida Theatre’s Hamlet Directed by Robert Icke Harold Pinter Theatre, London Performance date: July 28, 2017 Reviewed by EMER MCHUGH obert Icke’s production of Hamlet, starring the Irish actor Andrew Scott in the leading role, debuted at the Almeida Theatre in north RLondon in February 2017. The production then transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre for an extended West End run throughout that subsequent summer; this review talks about the production during that latter run. This was Scott’s first major Shakespearean role: after all, Hamlet is usually a role for actors who have firmly established themselves, and who have a firmly established fanbase. Two years prior, Scott’s Sherlock co-star Benedict Cumberbatch played the role in Lyndsay Turner’s Barbican Centre production. While Scott treaded the London boards, Oscar Isaac treaded the Broadway boards in the same role in Sam Gold’s production that summer. Just as Scott finished in the role in September 2017, Tom Hiddleston debuted as Hamlet in Kenneth Branagh’s fundraiser for RADA.

  • The Group of Seven
    The Group of Seven We are now in the era of the G8, although the G7 still exists as a grouping for finance ministers and central bank governors. Why do G7 finance ministries and central banks co-operate? What are the implications of this for the power of the United States and the abilities of the other six states to exercise leadership? What influence do the G7 have on global financial governance? How much authority do they possess and how is that authority exercised? This is the first major work to address these fundamental questions. It argues that to understand the G7’s contribution to global financial governance it is necessary to locate the group’s activities in a context of ‘decentralized globalization’. It also provides original case study material on the G7’s contribution to macro- economic governance and to debates on the global financial architecture over the last decade. The book assesses the G7’s role in producing a system of global financial governance based on market supremacy and technocratic trans-governmental consensus and articulates normative criticisms of the G7’s exclusivity. For researchers in the fields of IR/IPE, postgraduate students in the field of international organization and global governance, policy-makers and financial journalists, this is the most comprehensive analysis of the G7 and financial governance to date. Andrew Baker is Lecturer at the School of Politics and International Studies at the Queen’s University of Belfast. He is the co-editor of Governing Financial Globalisation (Routledge, 2005) and has published in journals such as Review of International Political Economy and Global Governance.
