Future AD. Don't think it's an attractive post anymore.....Goold would have been wonderful but alas too late. It pays £170K, plus benefits. |

That's a good season as far as I'm concerned - lots in there I haven't seen (I haven't had a good relationship with Shakespeare for a while!) and some things I'll be happy to revisit.

But you have to live in Stratford which, while lovely for a visit, might get a bit stultifying for 5-10 years. Also difficult if your family/partner is in London. Presumably that was the challenge with Sher - it was either base his career around the RSC and be accused of nepotism or base it around London where the bulk of theatre work in this country is and never see each other. |

Michael Boyd lived in Hampstead (or somewhere around there). |

I don't think moelhywel was saying what the season will be so much, rather which plays have yet to be produced as part of Doran's Complete Works project so are possibilities. We have to wait until September to find out which of those - and which additional plays - will actually be part of the new season! |

Oh I see - I definitely havent had coffee yet and didn't read that properly. Thanks!! |

I am desperate for the Henry VIs and Richard III. I don't get the hate for Doran, I really enjoyed the Richard II - Henry IV - Henry V cycle, and I want to see the rest. I love the Plantagenet history cycle.
(I saw the RSC Plantagenets in the 80s, with Anton Lesser, and loved it. Would like to see them again as a cycle as an adult.)

Don’t hate him, just think he’s become stale and conservative. His history cycle suffers terribly in comparison with the brilliant Michael Boyd one which came before. The RSC 80s one, and the ESC 80s one, compressed the four Henry VI - Richard III plays into three, I fear Doran may not and it will be a long haul. |

There is an interview with Maria Aberg in this week's Stage where she says her next job is "a big project with the RSC that culminates in 2020" She goes onto say she cant say anymore as it hasn't been announced. Mmmm anyone got an idea?

Wrong sort of showman Think you 're more likely to see David Tennant in Measure for Measure. He's always said it's his favorite Shakespeare so would think he's bookmarked himself a place in that when it comes around. R3 hasn't really featured in his 'To Do' list when asked, but he's been playing more villains lately so it's possible he's moved it up the list! |

The problem is finding an AD who is prepared to relegate their other work and focus on Shakespeare, you won’t get many of the best directors because of that. Simon Godwin maybe? He’d be great but has his eye firmly fixed on the Nash. |

He’d be great but has his eye firmly fixed on the Nash. He is doing Ant and Cleo and opening some rehearsals so a kind of rivalry if he does more and more Shakespeare at the NT. O like the good old days! |

I think a lot depends on who is directing, who is starring and what new twists they decide to impose to make things more 'relevant' or 'accessible'

I'd be happy with the Shrew if they read the text carefully for a change. The only performance of this I’ve seen that gets the ending is the Elizabeth Taylor movie. Sorry folks but it is. So let's wait and see.
