the royal shakespeare theatre

对于现代剧院而言,这里相对是比较干净得。很不错!每个字都抓住了我们的注意力。各种各样的演员和他们表演的角色吧莎士比亚带入到当今世界里来了。剧场里的每个位置似乎都很棒。

如果你想尝试终极影院体验,RST的作品无可挑剔。这些年来,去过很多次了,最近一次是去看第十二夜(Twelfth Night),棒极了。

周六下午,我们去RSC剧院观看了“错误的喜剧”的表演。首先要说的是,剧院很漂亮 - 布局很棒,(几乎)所有的观众都有一个很棒的视野。另外,这次表演惊人的好。我想可能是我看过的最棒的莎士比亚戏剧的表演。演员们各个才华横溢,表演的很是搞笑。我很喜欢他们的表演方式,而且推荐大家在它上映期间都去看看!表演很容易理解,看起来很轻松(当然,用的还是莎士比亚的语言),我喜欢演员和导演对这部戏剧独特的处理方式。

之前来这里玩的时候我参加了参观剧院的行程,导游们知识很丰富,人也很友善。这次我们去了高楼,那天的天气很晴朗,在上面可以看到超美的风景,地图上有些没有标示出来的地方,导游也可以指给你看。建议大家提前买票,我们是工作日的下午过去的,直接去到门口买票,当时候除了我们没有别人.剧院门口那附近是一个散步的好地方,可以在附近的咖啡馆吃点点心喝个咖啡什么的。我们也很幸运当天晚上看到了Twelfth Night这出经典的戏。

We saw the matinee performance of Love's Labours Lost on March 14th 2015. Tickets bought for me by my daughter who lives close by.The Good.The play - obviously.Set just before the outbreak of WW1. The 'modern' setting might not be to everyone's taste but it was to mine and we thoroughly enjoyed the performance.We were in the upper circle and were happy with our seats, the sound and the setting. I've read complaints about the seating so maybe it is better/worse in different areas but all I can say is that we were happy with ours.The BadThe staff (honourable exception being the chap serving at the upper circle bar during the interval)My daughter has bought my and my wife's tickets as a present and then a pair for herself and our other daughter just behind us at a cheaper rate (for students)We collected ours with no problem.Our younger daughter (17 years old) tried to collect hers but was told she needed some id (although they could see the booking on the screen).So we went back to the car where she had left a few odds and sods including her student bus pass and a student card.Back to the ticket office to be told that both were insufficient as they didn't show her date of birth.It was haughtily explained that the tickets were discounted and were for an age group 16 to 24. I said that she is plainly not over 24 and the fact that she's a college student would indicate that she must be over 16 to say the least. But nothing doing - no proof of date of birth means no ticket. "I don't make the rules" we were told.Our elder daughter then arrived so they went to try again with a different person. Very similar discussion although after about ten minutes of holding everyone else up whilst the positions were argued, the box office person eventually relented and released the tickets hissing "you won't get away with it next time".Get away with what? The tickets were bought & paid for legitimately and the two girls are both in the required age group.Up to the upper circle where I ask a young lad who was obviously staff where we might order interval drinks. He stood and stared blankly. "where can we order interval drinks?" a little louder - blanked again and then after seven or eight seconds shook his head, shuddered and said "did you say something?"Well, I don't know if he thought he was being clever but it was an irritating performance and if you think you're going to be an actor, sonny, you've got a lot to learn.Ice-cream lady at the interval - serves the wrong flavour which isn't discovered for 30 seconds or so but then refuses to take the (still unopened) carton back in exchange for the correct one until my wife goes over and strongly remonstrates with her.In short - Staff very officious, unhelpful and unfriendly.And don't worry - We won't try to "get away with it next time" as I doubt any of us will ever want to go back.

Attending a Thursday matinee performance, our group of 12 was able to enjoy a first class production in the RSC for the sum of £11.20 per ticket; these were senior citizen rates with a restricted view. Our group occupies these seats each visit; almost three hours of top class theatre for just over a tenner.....worth every penny. Many pupils from Bloxham School, Oxfordshire, were in seats around us in the theatre; their behaviour was excellent, and their obvious enjoyment of the play added to the atmosphere of the occasion. We have already booked for the final performance of "The Merchant of Venice" in early September, and we are looking forward to another tremendous theatrical experience.

We came around the corner from the restaurant and as I saw the theater in the distance...I actually gasped. My dream come true to visit this theater and spend an evening basking in the writings of the Bard. As we enter theRSC...my out of control theater genes got the best of me and looking at the set for :Love's Labours Lost" .. I actually wept. Fortunately my partner is used to my rather "dramatic" over-reactions. But this was no over-reaction...the RSC is rather brilliant and the production lived up to every expectation I had. A must for anyone who visits Stafford-Upon-Avon. By the way...I booked these tickets from the states through the RSC site several months in advance. If you're going to go...do remember that productions sell out rather quickly..especially on weekends. Easy to do though through the RSC website.

We have visited the RSC at Stratford several times in the past but our trip to see "Love's Labours Lost" was the first time for several years. I'm not always convinced by the 'need' to set the plays in a completely different era - even though the setting may on the face of it be in keeping with the story, the Elizabethan language doesn't always fit quite so well. 'Love's Labours Lost' is set just before the First World War and the stage settings and costumes were in keeping, the language of the play not so much. The stage settings themselves were excellent and the transition between sets was very slick. The acting too, as usual, was also excellent. Any visitors hoping to see a Shakespearean theatre similar the the Globe in London will be disappointed - the theatre itself is fairly modern. What you get instead is a very professional (albeit pricey) production in a great location on the riverbank.

On this visit to the RST we combined matinee tickets with a visit to the top of the Tower and a trip round the free exhibition, which filled most of a day in Stratford. It was an excellent visit - lots of contrasting things to keep us occupied and a magnificent production to round things off.The tower tour is a relatively quick activity that costs (at time of writing) £2.50 per adult. You ascend in a lift to panoramic views of the Warwickshire countryside, a peek into the back gardens of Stratford town and an unparalleled opportunity to understand how the theatre itself has developed over about a century and a half. It's not the most in-depth thing on offer in Stratford - the maximum length of stay at the top is said to be 20 minutes - but we felt under no pressure to move on. The staff were charming and helpful, and will assist anyone with accessibility needs. The setting at the top of the tower is surprisingly intimate and doesn't feel too high up - until you look down and see the tiny people and cars in the streets below, like a model village come to life. You can choose to descend by lift or take the stairs. The latter gives you further opportunities to enjoy the views on the way down as well as looking at images of classic productions and we found it well worth doing. The Bairnsfather exhibition was well-chosen to coincide with three productions built around a Great War theme. It was funny and poignant, with a clever construction that packs an awful lot of information and artefacts into a small space, even leaving room for extensive interactive and feedback areas. There are activities to engage children and blow-ups of some of the cartoonist's most impactful works on the walls ensuring not even this space is wasted. This added value to our visit and was an intelligent way to fill in the background of life in the trenches to support the productions.And finally - Love's Labour's Won. We booked after attending a cinema screening of Love's Labour's Lost a month previously. The production was everything that we had hoped, being able to turn on a sixpence from laugh-out-loud funny to poignant and emotionally affecting. We enjoyed the business of pairing the two plays and drawing on the same sets and cast, as well as setting them on each side of the Great War. We had seats in quite an extreme position - in the upper circle on the far left (as seen from the back of the auditorium) but did not feel our view was too badly restricted or that sitting there was too uncomfortable. The music is a significant feature of both productions with shades of Noel Coward, Ivor Novello and Gilbert & Sullivan and is a major component of the shows' success. Even though we live some distance from Stratford we will always try to visit for the productions that particularly interest us and this one was worth every mile that we'd travelled. I hope we can return to the RST soon.

We went to see 'Love's Labours Lost' and loved it so much that we came back to our B&B and booked to see ' Love's Labours Won' as well. Brilliant productions and wonderful music score. Also worth going on a tour of the theatre, takes about 1 hour with a very interesting guide and well worth the cost. There are also some costumes dotted around the theatre from past productions.Would advise against the seating described as "a liittle narrower and higher" than normal. For this read "feels like perching on a bar stool. We could only get these seats for the second play and found them very uncomfortable indeed.

I have been to the RSC on multiple occasions and have seen Titus Andronicus and Peter Pan. I honestly did not enjoy either play - but if I were to choose my favorite, it would be Peter Pan.Both play's lasted around two hours, with a short break in-between. You can buy (overpriced) drinks or snacks during this break, before the play re-continues.Getting into the theater isn't particularly cheap either, with prices over 20 pounds per person. There are several B&B's which offer slight discounts to their guests though.Personally, I dislike these plays because I can never follow the storyline, and I do get bored by the repetitiveness of some of them. Some people may like this - but not me.

This is not a review of the plays or the auditoreum, though I loved both Love's Labour's Lost and Won, but a review of th exhibition within the theatre complex. Permanently on display are a few costumes and pictures from various productions, combined with a temporary exhibition. The current one is about World War I artist Bruce Bairnsfather. This is brilliant, a good collection of cartoons and artefacts plus audio visual. Great to wonder round before the show or as part of visit to the town

The special effects were brilliant and the whole show excellent.However, the seating can be very cramped.

There is nothing to beat an evening at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. We recently went to see two excellent productions: Love's Labour'sWon (or Much Ado About Nothing)and Oppenheimer. Love's Labour's Won was a sequel to Love's Labour's Lost which we saw before Christmas (yes,if you love theatre you just have to see one play after another with this company!) which was set just before the First World War at Charlecote- a local country house which in itself is well worth a visit.These two plays were selected tby Gregory Doran as he felt they belonged together. L.L.W was brilliantly performed in the main theatre by a talented cast. It was fun, amusing and had a real feel good factor . I loved the music too. Oppenheimer in The Swan Theatre was totally different as it is about the scientist responsible for the atomic bomb. Ghastly subject matter and I wasn't sure I wanted to see it but the enthusiasm of the young and immensely talented cast provided an excellent production. The way in which the science was taught was amazing. If neither of these plays appeals it is worth going to the theatre for a coffee and a look round- there is SO much to see. The food is good- though quite pricey when I went -and there are various wines to choose from. There are frequently exhibitions which are free to view. If you love Shakespeare or other playwrights of a similar era,or you want to see a play which is new and exciting you are sure to find something on the playlist which will please you. Seats are varied in price- and size- so be sure you book one which suits you.

We watched in wonder as "The Heart of Robin Hood" characters ascended, descended and swung from tree to tree in Sherwood Forest. When one's imagination is pulled into the presentation, as mine was, real time and place mean nothing. During intermission, we gathered trinkets in the gift shop which still remind us of a remarkable time in Stratford and especially this marvelous staging of a delightful classic. Our visit was actually several Novembers ago.
