It seemed to me to sum up perfectly the connections between As You Like It and The Tempest: [In The Tempest,] Prospero escapes with his baby daughter, Miranda, just as in As You Like It the banished Duke lives (finally) in the forest with his daughter, Rosalind. Antonio who, with the help of Alonso, King of Naples, usurped his brother Prospero and cast him away to sea, is a Macbeth-type Rival Brother who fails to kill. More obvi- ously, he is a duplication of Duke Frederick who, in the tragic overture, As You Like It, usurped and banished Duke Senior, as if the Devil’s Island where Prospero now finds himself were what remained of the Forest of Arden after the holocaust of the tragedies. Perhaps one should not make light of the fact that the Mother Forest of those lyrical days, when Shakespeare answered the call, in mezzo del cammin, has become the rocky, storm-beaten island of a terrible dead witch and her devil-god. Or that Prospero numbers off rather precisely the twelve years between the composition of As You Like It (when Jaques sets out on the inward journey following the convertite Duke) and the composition of The Tempest, when Prospero, so much older, seeing the chance to settle the account, lifts his head from his books. —From Ted Hughes’ Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being The plays this year—although each stands on its own—are designed and conceived as a single gesture, a single journey. We hope it’s a rewarding one. —Sam Mendes BRIDGE PROJECT INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCES IN 2010 Hong Kong Arts Festival (Mar 25—28) Holland Festival (Jun 2—6) Singapore Repertory Theatre (Apr 2—10) The Old Vic, London (Jun 12—Aug 21) Théâtre Marigny-Paris (Apr 13—24) Athens & Epidaurus Festival, Greece Teatro Español de Madrid (Apr 29—May 9) (Aug 27—28) Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen (May 26—30) As You Like It SYNOPSIS When Rosalind’s father Duke Senior is banished by his usurping brother, Rosalind is left at the court to keep her cousin Celia company. One night, at a wrestling match, Rosalind and Celia meet the disinherited Orlando, and he and Rosalind fall instantly in love. Later that night, Rosalind is banished from the court by her uncle, and Celia pledges her loyalty to her cousin. Together they disguise themselves: Rosalind as a man called Ganymede and Celia as “his” sister Aliena, a country maid. They decide to seek Rosalind’s father in the Forest of Arden, and, for their journey, bring Touchstone the court fool to entertain them. Meanwhile, Orlando has returned home from the wrestling to find that his brother Oliver wants him dead. Adam, a faithful servant, warns Orlando of the plot against his life and escapes with him to the Forest of Arden. Orlando and Adam soon find Duke Senior, Rosalind’s father, who is living in exile with a community of outcasts, including the melancholy Jaques. Disguised as Ganymede, Rosalind meets Corin and Silvius, a shepherd whose passion for Phoebe reflects the love Rosalind has for Orlando whom she fears she will never see again. Soon Phoebe meets the disguised Rosalind and falls immediately in love with Ganymede. Meanwhile, Touchstone begins his chase after the country girl Audrey. One day, Celia reports that she has spotted Orlando in the forest, and that he is responsible for the love poems about Rosalind hanging on the trees. Rosalind decides to remain in her disguise and talk to Orlando about love. Ganymede claims that he

  • Shakespeare and London Programme
    andShakespeare London A FREE EXHIBITION at London Metropolitan Archives from 28 May to 26 September 2013, including, at advertised times, THE SHAKESPEARE DEED A property deed signed by Mr. William Shakespeare, one of only six known examples of his signature. Also featuring documents from his lifetime along with maps, photographs, prints and models which explore his relationship with the great metropolis of LONDONHighlights will include the great panoramas of London by Hollar and Visscher, a wall of portraits of Mr Shakespeare, Mr. David Garrick’s signature, 16th century maps of the metropolis, 19th century playbills, a 1951 wooden model of The Globe Theatre and ephemera, performance recording and a gown from Shakespeare’s Globe. andShakespeare London In 1613 William Shakespeare purchased a property in Blackfriars, close to the Blackfriars Theatre and just across the river from the Globe Theatre. These were the venues used by The Kings Men (formerly the Lord Chamberlain’s Men) the performance group to which he belonged throughout most of his career. The counterpart deed he signed during the sale is one of the treasures we care for in the City of London’s collections and is on public display for the first time at London Metropolitan Archives. Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the document, this exhibition explores Shakespeare’s relationship with London through images, documents and maps drawn from the archives. From records created during his lifetime to contemporary performances of his plays, these documents follow the development of his work by dramatists and the ways in which the ‘bardologists’ have kept William Shakespeare alive in the fabric of the city through the centuries.

  • Desiring Dexter: the Pangs and Pleasures of Serial Killer Body Technique
    Desiring Dexter: The pangs and pleasures of serial killer body technique Author Green, Stephanie Published 2012 Journal Title Continuum DOI https://doi.org/10.1080/10304312.2012.698037 Copyright Statement © 2012 Taylor & Francis.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/48836 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Desiring Dexter: the pangs and pleasures of serial killer body technique Stephanie Green1 School of Humanities, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Abstract The television series Dexter uses the figure of appealing monstrosity to unfold troubled relationships between corporeality, spectatorship and desire. Through a plastic-wrapped display of body horror, lightly veiled by suburban romance, Dexter turns its audience on to the consuming sensations of blood, death and dismemberment while simultaneously alluding to its own narrative and ethical contradictions. The excitations of Dexter are thus encapsulated within a tension between form and content as ambivalent and eroticised desire; both for heroic transgression and narrative resolution. Arguably, however, it is Dexter’s execution of a carefully developed serial killer body technique which makes this series so compelling. Through an examination of Dexter and his plotted body moves, this paper explores the representations of intimacy and murderous identity in this contemporary example of domestic screen horror entertainment. Keywords: Dexter, body-technique, desire, crime television, horror 1 [email protected] Launched in 2006, the television drama series Dexter has been a ratings record- breaker for its network producers (Showtime, CBS 2007-2011).

Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.
