Elizabeth Williamson Discusses Henry V:
- Henry V was written in 1599
- Tells a story about history back then
- When Henry becomes king he needs to make sure he is in charge
- Henry decides to go to war
- To know who is impacted on your decision is incredibly timeless
From Script to Stage: The Director's Concept:
- Students speaking the casual language of the 1890s but once they get to the rock songs they are going to be singing like teens today
- The show is timeless when the students act it out
- Spring Awakening is the new rock video
- Takes an old take on a play
A Director’s Interpretation: The Comedy of Errors:
- The idea of being estranged from who you are and being an outsider in the play
- Shakespeare can be in so many different world
- Dominick wanted a vibrant look for the production
- Setting it in London
- Anchor the play in something true
- Shakespeare makes sense when your in the moment
- You can’t define the play forever
