Theatre Workshop: On Shakespeare’s Stage
- Synopsis
- BBC audiovisual resource on teaching theatre history for upper secondary school courses (age 13-16). Aided by a filmstrip and slides combining extracts from Cymbeline as performed by the Shared Experience theatre group (dir. Mike Alfreds) with illustrations from a model of the play as it might have been staged at the Globe, the programme attempts to communicate what it must have been like to watch a performance in Shakespeare’s days. Includes interviews with the actors who comment about acting on a thrust stage.
