Summary
In this list I provide the date, venue, and director for stage productions included in this book. Unless otherwise noted, references to the Royal Shakespeare Company are to productions in the two large theatres (the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, the Barbican in London) as opposed to the Swan, The Other Place (TOP), and the Pit. I do not distinguish between Oregon Shakespeare Festival productions at the Elizabethan Stagehouse and the Bowmer, Royal National Theatre productions at the Olivier and Lyttleton, and Stratford Festival Canada productions at the Festival Theatre and the Avon. When I supply two consecutive years for a RSC production (Richard III, 1995–96), the later date refers to a remounting at the Barbican in London or on tour which was the version I actually saw. Not included in this list are (1) several shows to which I refer but did not see (for example, the Peter Brook 1955 Titus Andronicus); (2) Jane Howell's productions of the Henry VI plays and Titus Andronicus for BBC-TV's “The Shakespeare Plays”; and (3) several movies cited in passing.
