  • Politics in Contemporary Productions of William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus1
    Scripta Uniandrade, v. 17, n. 3 (2019) Revista da Pós-Graduação em Letras – UNIANDRADE Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil ANATOMY MONSTROUS: POLITICS IN CONTEMPORARY PRODUCTIONS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S TITUS ANDRONICUS1 Dr. FILIPE DOS SANTOS ÁVILA Doutor pela Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil ([email protected]) RESUMO: O presente artigo analisa duas montagens contemporâneas da peça Tito Andrônico, escrita por William Shakespeare em cooperação com George Peele. Assim, o presente estudo analisa as montagens de Michael Fentiman (2013) e Lucy Bailey (2014). A análise focou na relação entre os momentos mais violentos da peça e a submissão – ou resistência – das personagens ao poder estatal. Em vez de tentar estabelecer qual a afiliação política de Shakespeare ou discutir se a peça tem uma postura reacionária ou revolucionária, este estudo, baseando-se principalmente em Anderson, Fernie e Gil, conclui que tais montagens contemporâneas revelam ideias complexas sobre poder, liberdade e política. É precisamente nesses momentos de violência que tais ideias podem ser percebidas de forma mais clara. Palavras-chave: Shakespeare em performance. Tito Andrônico. Violência e política. Artigo recebido em: 27 set. 2019. Aceito em: 29 out. 2019. 1 This work is part of my PhD thesis, defended in 2018 at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) under Dr. José Roberto O'Shea's supervision. Much of the research was conducted at the Shakespeare Institute (University of Birmingham), in Stratford-upon-Avon. I would like to thank CAPES, again, for funding my research both at the Institute and in Brazil. ÁVILA, Filipe dos Santos.

  • Royal Shakespeare Company Returns to London's Roundhouse.Pdf

This is the first chance London audiences will have to see the RSC’s current 44-strong ensemble, who have been working together in Stratford-upon-Avon since January 2009. The RSC Ensemble is generously supported by The Gatsby Charitable Foundation and The Kovner Foundation. The season opens with Rupert Goold’s production of Romeo and Juliet and runs in repertoire to 5 February next year, with Michael Boyd’s production of Antony and Cleopatra; The Winter’s Tale directed by David Farr; Julius Caesar directed by Lucy Bailey; As You Like It, directed by Michael Boyd; and David Farr’s King Lear (see end of release for production details at a glance). All six productions have been developed throughout their time in the repertoire and are revised and re-rehearsed with each revival in Stratford, Newcastle, London and finally for next year’s residency in New York. The season also includes the RSC’s two recent Young People’s Shakespeare (YPS) productions created especially for children and families, and inspired by the Stand Up For Shakespeare campaign which calls for more children and young people to See Shakespeare Live, Start Shakespeare Earlier and Do Shakespeare on their Feet – Hamlet, directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney, and The Comedy of Errors (in association with Told by an Idiot), directed by Paul Hunter.

  • Core Strategy Vision and Objectives
    1. Introduction Your chance to help shape the future of Bromley We would like you to help us develop the long-term planning strategy for the London Borough of Bromley. This strategy needs to show roughly where any new development should go and, how much development there should be, over the next 20 years. We are starting with what is known as the “Core Strategy” - the top-level document where we set the general direction for the future of the borough - but once this is prepared we will produce other documents with policies to guide the detail of any development. So, is this the “Core Strategy”? No, this is just the first step towards a Core Strategy. This document presents a wide range of information about the Borough and its places and suggests some of the key issues for the future. We are asking everyone with an interest in Bromley to tell us what they think about the issues we have identified – are they the right issues? Are there any more issues that our planning strategy needs to consider? Once we have agreed on the main issues, it’s time to look at the ways of tackling them – again, we’ll be asking for everyone to get involved by telling us what they think and whether anything has been missed. After this we’ll be able to produce a draft Core Strategy which will contain policies that can be used to guide development – this is the document that will be submitted to the Government for checking. Overall, this process will take about two years.

  • Beckett at Theyoungvic
    Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui 29 (2017) 243–255 brill.com/sbt Beckett at the Young Vic From the Marginal to the Major-Marginal Matthew McFrederick Teaching Fellow in Theatre, University of Reading, uk [email protected] Abstract This article will examine the formative years of the Young Vic in London when pro- ductions of Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Happy Days were staged and embraced by a new generation of theatregoers and practitioners in a metropolitan theatre that began at the edge of the city’s mainstream theatre culture. Through a range of archival resources and an interview with the Young Vic’s founding director, this essay will dis- cuss the reception of these performances and their ability to engage with young audi- ences. It will conclude by tracing the YoungVic’s more recent association with Beckett’s drama, as the theatre has grown into an independent force competing with larger, tra- ditional theatre institutions. Résumé Cet article évoque la formation du Young Vic à Londres, plus précisément les années où y ont été réalisées les mises en scène d’En attendant Godot, de Fin de partie et de Oh les beaux jours pour une nouvelle génération de spectateurs ou de gens du théâtre, immédiatement convaincus, dans un théâtre métropolitain mais qui avait débuté en marge de la culture théâtrale traditionnelle. À partir d’un grand nombre d’archives, d’un interview du directeur et fondateur du Young Vic, cet essai traitera de l’accueil qu’ont rencontré ces spectacles et de leur capacité à intéresser les jeunes publics.

  • Black and Asian Theatre in Britain a History
    Black and Asian Theatre in Britain A History Edited by Colin Chambers First published 2011 ISBN 13: 978-0-415-36513-0 (hbk) ISBN 13: 978-0-415-37598-6 (pbk) Chapter 8 ‘All a we is English’ Colin Chambers CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 8 ‘All A WE IS English’1 Britain under Conservative rule in the 1980s and for much of the 1990s saw black and Asian theatre wax and then wane, its growth the result of earlier forces’ coming to a head and its falling away a consequence of cuts allied to a state-driven cultural project that celebrated the individual over the collective and gave renewed impetus to aggressive, narrow nationalism. How to survive while simultaneously asserting the heterodox, hybrid nature of non-white theatre and its contribution to British theatre was the urgent challenge. Within two years of the Thatcher government’s election to power in 1979, Britain saw perhaps the most serious rioting of its postwar era, which led to major developments in public diversity policy, though less significant change at the level of delivery. The black community could no longer be taken for granted and was demanding its rights as British citizens. The theatre group that epitomized this new urgency and resilience and the need to adapt to survive was the Black Theatre Co-operative (BTC).2 The group was founded by Mustapha Matura and white director Charlie Hanson in 1978 after Hanson had failed to interest any theatres in Welcome Home Jacko, despite Matura’s standing as the leading black playwright of his generation.
