No theatre company has been involved in such a broad range of
adaptations for television and cinema as the Royal Shakespeare
Company. Starting with Richard III filmed in the Shakespeare
Memorial Theatre before World War One, the RSC's accomplishments
continue today with highly successful live cinema broadcasts. The
Wars of the Roses (BBC, 1965), Peter Brook's film of King Lear
(1971), Channel 4's epic version of Nicholas Nickleby (1982) and
Hamlet with David Tennant (BBC, 2009) are among their most iconic
adaptations. Many other RSC productions live on as extracts in
documentaries, as archival recordings, in trailers and in other
fragmentary forms. Screening the Royal Shakespeare Company explores
this remarkable history of collaborations between stage and screen
and considers key questions about adaptation that concern all those
involved in theatre, film and television. John Wyver is a
broadcasting historian and the producer of RSC Live from
Stratford-upon-Avon, and is uniquely well-placed to provide a vivid
account of the company's television and film productions. He
contributes an award-winning practitioner's insight into screen
adaptation's numerous challenges and rich potential.
