Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In 1960, Peter Hall became director of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-on-Avon. Within a year, he created the Royal Shakespeare Company, the UK's first national theatre company, a semi-permanent troupe of actors, directors and designers committed to three principles - the troupe, the repertory system and a collective style of performing Shakespeare that was both classical and modern. Hall was joined by his co-directors Peter Brook and Michel Saint-Denis, and by the two young directors to whom he would eventually pass the baton - Trevor Nunn and Terry Hands. These men ran the RSC during its historically important first era, 1960 to 1990, when it stayed committed to those founding principles, and operated as a unique body within the star-orientated British Theatre.The young actors produced by the RSC, forming its creative core for twenty years, included Ian Holm, Diana Rigg, Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, David Warner and Ben Kingsley, to name just six. This book includes essays on all of the artists mentioned above along with hundreds more as it describes the work of the artists who made the RSC.This book acts as a companion piece to Simon Trowbridge's The Rise and Fall of the Royal Shakespeare Company, published in 2021.
