More about the book

The book explores the evolution of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), contrasting it with France's Comédie-Française, which has thrived for over 340 years. Simon Trowbridge highlights the vision of past leaders like Peter Hall, Trevor Nunn, and Terry Hands, who championed a permanent troupe dedicated to artistic excellence and the revival of classic works. However, he notes a shift in the RSC's identity from a cohesive company to a commercial brand, raising questions about its sustainability and future compared to its French counterpart.
