However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).

  • Linguaculture 1, 2014
    LINGUACULTURE 1, 2014 THE HOLLOW CROWN:SHAKESPEARE, THE BBC, AND THE 2012 LONDON OLYMPICS RUTH M ORSE Université-Paris-Diderot Abstract During the summer of 2012, and to coincide with the Olympics, BBC2 broadcast a series called The Hollow Crown, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s second tetralogy of English history plays. The BBC commission was conceived as part of the Cultural Olympiad which accompanied Britain’s successful hosting of the Games that summer. I discuss the financial, technical, aesthetic, and political choices made by the production team, not only in the context of the Coalition government (and its attacks on the BBC) but also in the light of theatrical and film tradition. I argue that the inclusion or exclusion of two key scenes suggest something more complex and balanced that the usual nationalism of the plays'; rather, the four nations are contextualised to comprehend and acknowledge the regions – apropos not only in the Olympic year, but in 2014's referendum on the Union of the crowns of England/Wales and Scotland. Keywords: Shakespeare, BBC, adaptation, politics, Britishness During the summer of 2012, to coincide with the London summer Olympics, BBC2 broadcast a series called The Hollow Crown, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s second tetralogy of English history plays. An additional series, Shakespeare Unlocked, accompanied each play with a program fronted by a lead actor discussing the play and the process, illustrated by clips from the plays in which they had appeared (“The Hollow Crown”). The producer was the Neal Street Production Company in the person of Sam Mendes, a well-known stage and cinema director, celebrated not least for an Oscar for American Beauty, a rare honour for a first-time film director.

  • Dame Judi Dench at 10Th Anniversary Edition
    ASFF is thrilled to announce that British actress Dame Judi Dench will be joining the festival’s renowned masterclass strand to discuss her esteemed career on stage and screen. In a year that will see some stellar talents from both behind and in front the camera speak, Dame Judi’s must- see masterclass (8 November, 16:00) is a fitting way to bring this truly special 10th anniversary edition of the ASFF to a close. With a body-of-work that stretches back to 1957, when she left drama college to play Ophelia in a production of Hamlet at the Old Vic, Dame Judi’s wealth of experience has seen her work with some of the world’s most acclaimed directors. Among her many collaborators stand Clint Eastwood (J. Edgar), Tim Burton (Mrs. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children) and Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice). On stage, Dame Judi has won a Tony on Broadway in 1999 for her role in Amy’s View and a record eight Olivier awards, most recently for A Winter’s Tale. In the cinema, she has been equally feted, receiving seven Oscar nominations, beginning with her role as Queen Victoria in Mrs. Brown. In 1999, her turn as an imperious Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare In Love saw her win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. After coming to the British public’s attention in the 1980s in the television sitcom A Fine Romance, co-starring with her late husband Michael Williams, Dame Judi gradually moved into film, notably in the Merchant-Ivory production of A Room With A View (1985).
