Whispers from the Wings

This is a diary of our productions, explaining what's happening through the rehearsal process. Our current bloggers are:

Ben Deery

Ben Deery  returns to the RSC following last year's stint as Edmund in the Young People's Shakespeare production of King Lear. This time he is playing Publius in Titus Andronicus and Lieutenant Sponger in A Mad World My Masters on the Swan Theatre stage.

Rose Reynolds

Rose Reynolds  makes her debut at the RSC, playing Lavinia in Titus Andronicus and company in both Mad World My Masters and Candide. Passionate, feisty country mouse at heart. Must love long walks and possess ample knowledge of the weather.

Andrew French

Andrew French  is playing Decius Brutus and Titinius in our production of Julius Caesar. This is his first production with the RSC. A company that he has waited a long time to play for.

In a review of Julius a scene that I am in (indeed, MY favourite scene) was noted as being perfect. Isn't that nice? They loved how it was played and pitched and I felt a brief spark of pride.

Second week. Maybe this is too English, but what a nice weather we had, the sun was shining, people were always on the streets and the whole town came to life.

Apologies again for my appalling cyber silence over the last few weeks! They have been manic to say the least!
