Dateline: 23rd May, 2006
Nunn to Return to his RSC Roots Trevor Nunn, RSC Artistic Director from 1968 to1986, is to return to Stratford after fifteen years to direct a cross cast ensemble company in King Lear and Chekhov’s The Seagull. The two productions will play in repertoire in the new Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from March 2007 before embarking on a world tour. Ian McKellen, already announced as playing the title role in King Lear which will be the closing production of the RSC’s Complete Works Festival, will also appear as Sorin in The Seagull. Trevor Nunn said, “For many years now I have been hoping to return to my theatrical roots in the RSC, and for even longer I have been looking forward to the fulfilment of the vow Ian McKellen and I made that one day we would do King Lear together. Add to that the fact that we both believe in Ensemble work playing in repertoire, and you have the background of this exciting plan to perform these two plays with the same cast in Stratford-upon-Avon.” Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
