Dateline: 12th April, 2007 RSC Shakespeare Quiz OnlineReaders of the BTG who have done well in J D Atkinson's festive Shakespeare quizzes over the years, might like to try their hand at a new quiz organised by the RSC and possibly win a prize. The Royal Shakespeare Company is offering everyone the chance to see how much they know about Shakespeare, his plays and the work of the RSC itself. The company has devised a special online quiz, which will go live on the RSC website, www.rsc.org.uk, on Shakespeare’s birthday, Monday 23rd April.
Those who take part in the internet brainteaser will have the chance to win a pair of tickets to ‘The Great Shakespeare Quiz’. This live contest will take place in The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon at 6.15pm on Sunday 29th April, as part of the RSC’s annual Open Day.
With TV celebrity Gyles Brandreth in the quizmaster’s chair, two teams will battle it out to see who knows the Bard the best. Those pitting their wits will include Sinead Cusack, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Antony Sher, Donald Sinden, Juliet Stevenson, David Warner and Michael Wood.
As well as celebrating Shakespeare’s birthday, this year’s Open Day will also signal the end of the company’s Complete Works Festival, and mark the last day on which members of the public will have access to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RST) before its temporary closure as part of the RSC’s transformation project. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
