King Lear

17th March 2012

 

Cutting Away Our Future

26th May 2012

 

 

King Lear

 

Saturday 17th March 2012, 9.00am – 1.00pm

at the Tobacco Factory, Raleigh Road, Bristol BS3 1TF

 

Shakespeare’s most challenging play confronts us with human nature’s darkest possibilities. King Lear pushes theatrical and emotional experience to their limits in its blend of searing tragedy and wild comedy.

 Join us to see King Lear on Friday 16th March and then spend Saturday morning exploring this tragedy of what it means to be human, in our seventh joint venture with Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory.

Our speakers on 17th March will be:

 

Richard Rusbridger is a Training Analyst of the British Psycho-Analytical Society, in private practice in London.  He read Music and English at Cambridge, and trained as a child psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic.  He is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at UCL.

 

 

Dennis Kennedy, Beckett Professor of Drama Emeritus in Trinity College Dublin, is a performance historian, director and playwright. His award-winning books include Looking at Shakespeare, Foreign Shakespeare, Shakespeare in Asia, The Spectator and the Spectacle and, most recently, The Oxford Companion to Theatre and Performance.

 

 

Andrew Hilton, a Patron of the Bridge Foundation and Founder & Artistic Director of Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, for whom he has directed 23 productions at the Tobacco Factory, together with SATTF/Bristol Old Vic co-productions of Uncle Vanya and The Misanthrope. He also has over 30 years’ experience as an actor in stage, television and radio.

 

The morning will be chaired by Jane Cheshire, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in private practice in Bath, training therapist and supervisor for the Severnside Institute for Psychotherapy where she is also Chair.
