Does this just mean that the RSC couldn't find commercial co-producers on the right terms for the transfer?

The Two Noble Kinsmen is also notable by its absence in the First Folio and the play has disputed authorship. However, it was produced in 2016. Maybe a fondness for John Fletcher from Doran meant its inclusion in the First Folio. No, it wasn't produced as part of this First Folio project. It was one of their other productions.

Does this mean no Pericles for us to ponder who wrote it? Are they using the First Folio text or just the list of plays? No idea. Just saying that, starting in October 2013, they're staging all 36 plays in the First Folio and now about halfway through.

The project is to perform every play in the First Folio.
So, presumably they'll perform every play in it, even if authorship is now disputed, and they won't perform other plays now thought to be by WS if they're not in the First Folio?

In the continuing RSC project to stage every one of Shakespeare's plays in the First Folio, Timon of Athens is the first to be staged in the Swan Theatre, instead of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Like all the RST productions, Timon of Athens will be recorded for broadcast 'Live From Stratford-upon-Avon'. Maybe, some of the other plays still to be produced in this project will also be in the Swan, e.g. King John, Henry VI 1, 2 and 3?

You need actors with a real connection for Molina and Valentin.
For some reason I wonder whether Alan Carr might not be a good choice for Molina - he can do the camp and the heartbreaking. He is the right sort of age
And then for Valentin, I looked at who Carr is known to work well - and that brought me to Justin Lee Collins - but not so sure about him.

It doesn’t say if it’s a play or a musical - but NEW version! Strange.... The Menier says: "We are excited to announce our next show, the ground-breaking play Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig, featuring a new adaptation by José Rivera ( The Motorcycle Diaries ) and Allan Baker . Originally a novel, this electrifying story has also been adapted into an Oscar winning film and a musical."

it would've sold out at the Nash with three times the performances, Evidence? an infinitesimally small handful of people worked out loopholes to enable them to go 3 or 4 times Evidence? There was a handful on this Board so very likely others too. the superfans don't keep shows running themselves, Yes, that's exactly my point, bless you. Superfans soak up the availability in a limited run of 44 performances, and the NT also has a raft of regulars who block-book for loads of shows. But in the West End, with far more tickets available over a run, shows need much wider appeal.

Would be risky marketing as Angels in America mark 2, that revival had an A-List cast, this doesn't. Angels in America seemed so "popular" because of a very limited run (only 44 performances including previews) and a core of superfans who saw it several times each. West End shows have to be genuinely more widely popular.

The only thing I didn't like was the sound design, I found it jarring and quite awkward when some loud music suddenly played and found the music moments didn't work in such an intimate play and setting. I thought the music is all cued by the Girl as part of her presentation to us of her story. It all illustrates the detail of what she's telling us, so that we all get every point. Similarly, the sudden lighting cues and the bursts of movement and dance.

Reminiscent of Adrian Mole in that everything is seen from the perspective of the young adult and the teller is directly trying to manipulate their audience.
Although a big difference is that Mole narrates in the moment but the Girl tells of her past.

Daniel Day-Lewis's announced last movie role. I fear my expectations may be set too high, but am really looking forward to seeing it.

Yes but you can't expect THE DAD to stay at home and look after the kids while THE MUM brings home the bacon, can you? What a thought!!! Wikipedia tells us that he's vegan, so it would be unreasonable to expect him to bring home the bacon.

Laurie Sansom (director) was announced a year ago!
Sion Daniel Young ripped our hearts to shreds in Killology, so Nightfall is now a must-see.
Laurie Sansom would fit the Donmar...

Emma Rice hadn't directed anything at the Globe. I'm pretty sure the latter must be correct ? Nor had Dominic Dromgoole. In the case of both appointments, Shakespeare's Globe decided to explore their unique theatre in a different way from previous ADs. Yes that is true. Let's try another, Paul Miller hadn't directed anything at the Orange Tree. But he was a very experienced director who'd worked over a long time in many different theatres, and could be trusted to have a very sound vision of where he would take the Orange Tree. The Donmar is a funny one. The constraints are huge as it needs to satisfy and is fundamentally reliant on all of Arts Council England, corporate donors, individual supporters and audiences. Other theatres can survive failure in one quarter but the Donmar is too small and expensive to lose any of them.
