This book discusses an exciting laboratory that has been developing
the practice of theatre music composition and sound design since
1961: the Royal Shakespeare Company. Musical practices have evolved
as composers and musical directors inherited from the past and
innovated with new technology; different interpretations of single
plays in multiple iterations have provided a picture of developing
styles, genres, working practices, technologies and contexts; actor
musicianship has been practiced quietly and without fuss; and the
role of the sound designer has appeared and transformed the
theatrical soundscape. This book moves to musical theatre to
evidence a continuum between its rich interdisciplinary textures
and the musicodramatic world of Shakespeare's plays, positioning
the RSC as an innovative company that continually expands the
creative and collaborative possibilities of the theatre.
