Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

The Hollow Crown: the Wars of the Roses
STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 3 MAY 2016 The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses Henry VI Part I, Henry VI Part II and Richard III Following 2012's critically acclaimed BAFTA winning first series, The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses is the concluding part of an ambitious and thrilling cycle of Shakespeare's Histories filmed for BBC Two, comprising Henry VI Part I & II, and Richard III, and featuring the very best of British on-screen talent. A Neal Street Co-Production with Carnival / NBC Universal and Thirteen for BBC STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 3 MAY 2016 Synopses Henry VI Part I Henry V is dead, and against the backdrop of Wars in France the English nobles are beginning to quarrel. News of defeat at Orleans reaches the Duke of Gloucester, the Lord Protector, and other nobles in England. Henry VI, still an infant, is proclaimed King. Seventeen years later the rivalries at Court have intensified; Gloucester and the Bishop of Winchester argue openly in front of the King. Rouen falls to the French but Plantagenet, recently restored as the Duke of York, Exeter and Talbot pledge to recapture the city from the Dauphin. Battle commences and the French, led by Joan of Arc, defeat the English. Valiant Talbot and his son John are killed. Warwick and Somerset arrive after the battle to join forces with the survivors and retake Rouen. Somerset woos Margaret of Anjou as a potential bride for Henry VI. Plantagenet takes Joan of Arc prisoner and she is burnt at the stake. Gloucester protests but still Margaret is introduced as Henry's queen.

I am delighted to say that our events programme for 2008-09 is shaping up very well, with confirmed speakers including Heather Forsyth from the Museum of London, who will talk about the treasure found in Stuart London that is known as the ‘Cheapside Hoard’, and Peter Burke, who will discuss the rhetoric of autobiography in seventeenth-century Europe. We will finish this year’s programme of academic events with our second student conference, ‘Journeys and Encounters’, on Saturday 12 July. The range of papers is very exciting and reflects the society’s multi-disciplinary ethos: people will be speaking about topics that include the New World, plant finding journeys of English herbalists in the 1640s, pamphlet wars, and Sir Kenelm Digby’s privateering career. I would like to thank everyone who submitted a synopsis – all of them demonstrated a high level of interest in the period and theme. On the day we will be able to provide lunch for all delegates and speakers, thanks to the generosity of Julian Swann and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, which is much appreciated.

Shakespeare Performed Speaking with the Dead: the RSC History Cycle, 2007–8
Shakespeare Performed Speaking with the Dead: The RSC History Cycle, 2007–8 Lois Potter Only nine years ago, the Royal Shakespeare Company greeted the millennium with This England, a deliberately disintegrationist version of the Shakespearean history sequence, with a number of different directors and venues. Michael Boyd’s contribution to that event was the Henry VI–Richard III group, performed in the Other Place. In 2007 and 2008, with a cast including some of the actors from that earlier run, he (with associate director Richard Twyman, who was responsible for 2 Henry IV) directed the entire Richard II–Richard III sequence in the Courtyard Theatre at Stratford, with a brief final showing at the Roundhouse in London. In the company’s London season, the plays were performed in their “historical” sequence, but audiences at Stratford saw them in something like their order of composition, with Henry V, not Richard III, as the climax. With many of the cast carrying over from the 2000 staging, the basic shape and concept of the first tetralogy were still recognizable, although there were some important changes, particularly in Richard III. I shall focus here mainly on the second tetralogy, since this was a new production. 1 The five kings that we saw—well, there are seven altogether, but no one ever remembers Edward IV or V—were framed by Jonathan Slinger’s grotesque, attention-grabbing Richard II and Richard III. Between were Clive Wood as tough, efficient usurper Bolingbroke / Henry IV (and would-be usurper York); Geoffrey Streatfeild as likeable Prince Hal / Henry V (and treacherous charmer Suffolk, lover of another French queen); and Chuk Iwuji as Henry VI, who grows from child king to embittered, if saintly, loser over the course of three plays.

Shakespeare and the Thirties: Representations of the Past in Contemporary Performance
SHAKESPEARE AND THE THIRTIES: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PAST IN CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCE by JAMI ROGERS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY The Shakespeare Institute School of English, Drama and American and Canadian Studies The University of Birmingham May 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the performance history of Shakespeare focusing on those productions performed as a period analogue of the nineteen-thirties. It engages with the material in two ways. It first attempts to locate influences that have led to the development of this style of performance, finding correlations with both theatrical production and televisual drama. It then examines the productions as performed, focusing on the construction of scenography and actor performances. Throughout the analysis, this thesis engages with shifts in the representation of the historical past on both stage and screen.

Rogers 1916-2003 "Take Me Home, Country Roads" ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is the product of more years of experience than I probably care to admit.

Hampstead Theatre Announces Casting for Wild Honey
7 October 2016 Hampstead Theatre announces casting for Wild Honey WILD HONEY A play by Michael Frayn From the play without a name by Anton Chekhov Directed by Howard Davies with Jonathan Kent Starring Geoffrey Streatfeild Designer Rob Howell Lighting Peter Mumford Sound designer Mike Walker Composer Dominic Muldowney Casting Juliet Horsley 2 December 2016 – 14 January 2017 Press Night Thursday 8 December 7pm ‘Are you really such a terrible Don Juan? You look so handsome in the moonlight!’ Hampstead Theatre presents Michael Frayn’s Wild Honey, directed by Hampstead’s Associate Artist Howard Davies. Geoffrey Streatfeild will make his Hampstead Theatre debut in the role of Platonov. The cast also includes Bruce Alexander, Joe Bannister, Gunnar Cauthery, Simon Chandler, Kammy Darweish, Joe Evans, Matthew Flynn, Jo Herbert, Rebecca Humphries, Justine Mitchell, Adrian Richards and Sophie Rundle. This comedy of errors, drawn from Chekhov’s untitled – and posthumously discovered - early play, is a tale of nineteenth century Russian life replete with classic misunderstandings, irrepressible desires and nostalgia for a vanishing world. Village schoolmaster Platonov has it all: wit, intelligence, a comfortable and respectable life in provincial Russia, and the attentions of four beautiful women - one of whom is his devoted wife… As summer arrives and the seasonal festivities commence, the rapidly intensifying heat makes everyone giddy with sunlight, vodka – and passion. Geoffrey Streatfeild plays Platonov. Theatre credits include Young Chekhov: Ivanov and The Seagull, The Beaux Stratagem, Children of the Sun, Earthquakes in London, The Pains of Youth, The History Boys, Bacchae (National Theatre), My Night with Reg (Donmar Warehouse/West End), Macbeth, Copenhagen (Crucible Theatre), Henry V, Henry IV: Part 1, Henry IV: Part 2, Henry VI Part 1, 2 and 3, Richard III (RSC).
