Renaissance Revels is a London-based fringe theatre company with the aim of bringing to life drama from the 16th and 17th Centuries. Plays produced by Renaissance Revels will endeavour to discover what it was that shaped the characters and plot-lines when the plays were written, and display this process of exploration in a way that can be appreciated and enjoyed by a 21st Century audience. The company's debut sell-out show, Othello, was staged at the Landor Theatre in Clapham, London. Their next show is shortly to go into production: updates, and details of how you can be involved, can be found on the 'Upcoming Shows' section of the site: http://www.renaissancerevels.co.uk/RRupcoming.htm Generating enthusiasm amongst young people is a key part of the company’s aim. To this end, plays that are produced by Renaissance Revels will, as far as possible, be staged in local schools as well as in established theatres. School students will be given the opportunity to ask questions of the cast and crew, and develop their understanding of the Renaissance period. Enjoyment is a key part of what Renaissance Revels is about. We operate a policy where anyone with a genuine enthusiasm for what we’re doing can have the opportunity to be involved in some way. To this end, we run networking parties where people who are interested can come and meet with us – and with each other – to discuss up-and-coming productions and ideas. We are open to approaches from directors, producers, actors, and crew – in fact, anyone with imagination, and a passion for the Renaissance. EXTERNAL LINKS
