- Production Diary 7 - 11 October 2013
Simon Ash, our Senior Production Manager for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, describes the last week of technical work before Richard II opens.
'Are we going to be ready to get the actors on stage on Monday evening at 6 o'clock?' he asks. His explanation of the process of bringing the show to stage makes clear it's not an easy question to answer.
Simon and the team have been planning this work for at least three months. In the week before the show opens, six departments - 40 to 50 people - will be working in the forestage, auditorium and backstage of the the theatre for 12 hours a day. Transport, facilities, equipment and scenery all come together. Watch the video to see it happen.
Richard II plays in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 10 October to 16 November 2013. It transfers to the Barbican 9 December to 25 January.

thank you so much for posting all of these, I am a huge theatre aficionado and I love Shakespeare with all my heart. My dream is to work at the RSC one day (a dream because I live in South America), and I really enjoy all the backstage action. So, thank you!
It's amazing how much work has been put into this, am sure the show will be great!
