I really do love Royal Shakespeare Company. I have seen many clips from their productions over the years (as I basically have a degree in taking Shakespeare classes throughout my time in college.) The Royal Shakespeare Company rendition of Hamlet from 2016 with Paapa Essiedu - playing the title character - as a starving artist was something truly amazing. The director, Simon Godwin, did an amazing job during the “get thee to a nunnery” scene with the smearing paint on Ophelia's mouth. I hope that the two named artistic directors, Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, can live up to the challenge. Having multiple people take one position is a surefire way for disagreements in the workplace. I have seen it happen with co-stage managers before and it was a nightmare. I just hope these two can be collaborators instead of clashing when it comes to decisions about the Royal Shakespeare Company’s future seasons.
