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.

Five star holiday

I toured a show to Singapore once. They put us up in a five star hotel and we were treated like royalty. I happened to be there on my 24th birthday and when I came down to hand in my keys at the front desk they wished me a Happy Birthday.

'It's not even swan shaped'

March 20, 2013

I always find it difficult writing these sorts of things without setting up a similar prefix to that of: 'what did you do over your summer holiday?' I feel infantile, silly and suddenly very aware of my feet. I suppose it doesn't have to be Shakespeare…

Well that went well! Press night was amazing and now we're practically sold out. It's a nice feeling. Every show from now on will have a full house watching it.

The highlight of my career so far

It's Sunday and I've just had a blissful day off with my two roomies in the sunshine in Warwick castle, topped off with a three course meal and glass of bubbly. Bliss.

Well that's preview number three down and dusted. We're changing lots everyday. Our call is usually 11am for notes and then we work through different bits. Same routine as always.

'Harsh and awesome'

February 8, 2013

It's snowing. It's very cold outside and inhospitable and difficult to navigate. The rehearsal rooms are a 22 minute walk away from my digs on a normal day but with the snow and ice it takes 32 minutes.

True learning

January 23, 2013
Thumb

It's amazing to think that in the 1600s, when you called someone a scholar, then that person was assumed to be an expert on many different subjects.

The universe and everything

January 8, 2013

The universe is a fascinating place when you really start to look at it. Mystery and revelation swim hand in hand way up there in the dark.
