A dream of an RSC that once more thrills……no more awful community theatre and peacemaking ….no more lived experienced essentials for work…simply staging great work.
Restoration of repertoire at RSC and NT
Globe to celebrate the Folio year with groundbreaking work and not be the butt of all humour with their odd casting and even odder education thrust
In short a theatre in U.K. that wants all audiences not just special cases.

Really pleased that RSC seem to have a hit that has legs and should be good for income stream for few years. Now time...really....to put this much thinking and creativity into work at Stratford bringing vision to the repertoire.This has been sadly absent during the last years.
With fresh leadership and the benefits of Totoro I hope the company will rebuild to former strength and focus on excellence.

Can you imagine a stone at RSC or any of the front line directors. Maybe new team will brave it Whyman still in shock Nothing particularly exciting for a few months Tempest May begin revival Long way to go but a little optimism

This will be chapters end...I hope.
Evans/Harvey must not inherit this core of staff with their agenda...Whyman's ghost will stalk the nights if so.Problem is tied into extensive Education and Community projects inc a new 3 year one.Maybe they agreed to continue the policies without question. So in July/Aug just one play in Stratford......no point in being a theatre tourist and staying over at all.
Be fascinating to see where both GD and EW end up. When Greg took over -so much promise....such great plans. What really went wrong....? A book could be written but,I suspect,no one involved would dare take readers through a decline and fall.

Hamlet in TOP
Some good directors
Too much community work outlined in release…overshadows the core repertory.
Swan was due to open with EW doing Hamlet
Maybe she is checking out early and swan opening in autumn
Not a disaster that I feared and perhaps a build back now the community officer is fading
Sorry it’s cruel but both Whyman and Doran destroyed something I loved over their time

So Tuesday the new season is revealed and the last with EW…..so much relief. Anticipate lots of community work to go out with a bang and second rate directors. The new team get in midsummer so no impact on the upcoming season……apart from Doran’s Cymbeline and EW Hamlet in Swan no ideas at all but hope all theatres in operation and a full season although not in repertoire next year.

I will wait and hope....maybe a blockbuster Kiss Me Kate starting in Stratford etc....RSC needs commercial success and a massive rebuild.Hope TOP will open year round and Swan get classics back in rediscovery mode.Not radical but a real challenge to take on and I can draw a line under the decline years.Relieved EW did not get it as I had thought-must be massive blow for her.Now onwards,upwards and an RSC to hopefully reawaken.Please scrap community label-it stinks.

i think we still guess as the smoke has not wafted across the Avon until this week.
The joint appointment may work and agree it is better than the mess RSC are in. However is this going to restore company to world leading status...? Think not but at least they can call on contacts to make work unlike the last few years of third raters.
Hear Hamlet opens Swan with EW directing....maybe at last the entire community can play Elsinore in all its forms.
It will be at least a year before new AD's make any season and by then the company may be over.....dont sell your houses yet you two-if it is you who come to RSC.
Anyway-hopeful if not over the moon.

September is the latest thinking.
Hear a few front runners pulled out but that’s rumour mill…..Goold,Godwin etc…….don’t really know.
I still guess Whyman and therefore goodbye RSC
Shows this summer very bland….nothing awful,nothing great,very simply OK,……no real reason to travel to see them.
Next year hear repertoire will be dropped for straight runs……
Ah well

Just met someone…..they said…RSC dreadful,the whole management should be thrown out for what they have done. Didn’t ask for this…just thrown at me by someone who used to visit. It’s true.
