General: Theatrevoice is a website for audio content about British theatre, and features journalists from across the UK as well as press and practitioners from across the theatre industry. It was set up in 2003 to see if theatre could be talked about in a new way: allowing critics to be more expansive than the usual space constraints of the print media allowed. In 2008, V&A Theatre Collections and Rose Bruford College, London agreed to support the site in partnership. (http://www.theatrevoice.com/about_us/, accessed 7/2010)
History: The Tempest was staged at The Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 14 February - 14 March 2009 after transferring from South Africa. It is a joint RSC/Baxter Theatre Centre production.
