As You Like It

Directed by Tim Supple

Commissioned by Leicester's £60m new theatre, The Curve, this production of As You Like It searches for another England - and another Shakespeare. The intention remains the same as any other serious attempt to unlock the mysteries of this most familiar yet most elusive of dramatists: to hunt out the play's meaning and share our findings. But we combine this with another intention: to see and hear Shakespeare in different forms and voices.

Different than we are used to and different from each other. Not homogenous but disparate and telling of many journeys - some arduous and full of sorrow, some shot through with joy. This, too, is England and seems pertinent to a play that is, in part, about exile, flight and a transformative, liberating, gathering of strangers and 'aliens'. Directed by Tim Supple, this is his first production made in the UK in over three years.

"The production explicitly offers another way of looking at ourselves as a nation and at our national playwright." The Guardian

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Directed by Tim Supple

“A production that’s already entered the annals of theatrical history” Time Out

A unique and epic international collaboration, the “Indian Dream”, commissioned by the British Council, incorporated an Indian and Sri Lankan cast and crew with a multilingual text.
Combining live traditional music with acrobatics, folk performers with realistic actors and traditional dance with contemporary movement, it opened in Delhi in 2006. It went on to tour four major cities in India, and enjoyed huge success at the RSC’s Complete Works Festival in Stratford upon Avon and the Verona festival on Midsummer’s night.

“The most magical, fantastical Dream that will be remembered for decades”
Daily Telegraph

In 2007 the Indian Dream returned for a sell out six-week run at the Roundhouse in London followed by a four-week return to the RSC in Stratford upon Avon and a 10 week UK tour supported by the Arts Council England. In 2008 it returned to India and went on to enjoy great success in Australia, the USA and Canada.
