More Rehearsal Photos

For those looking for more rehearsal photos from Henry V, there are some available here, including ones not on the official website.  [e]

First Peak

Rehearsal photos have now been added under the Henry V gallery link on Propeller's website, as well as the artwork for The Winter's Tale.  [e]

Germany Ahead

Propeller is off to New York this week, but looming in the future is an appearance at the German Neuss Festival in July. The site has downloadable pictures from Richard III and previews on that show and Comedy of Errors.

Thousands of Words

Curious about the world of Ephesus? Manuel Harlan Photography has the production photos for Comedy of Errors, providing a fantastic (and oh-so-colorful) view into what audiences are being treated to currently in Sheffield.

Not enough? You can also explore the bloody world of Richard III.

Btacts: Propeller playing the comedy/farce in Comedy of Errors really well. Like the Mexican setting. Only 1 hour each half @SheffieldLyceum

Also, the Watermill tweeted this rehearsal pic a few days ago.

They Will Have Law in Ephesus

Rehearsal photos have started cropping up from Comedy of Errors at both Huntington's official site and their Facebook page.

Ring in the New Year

Comedy and Richard bring Propeller back to the stage this week in Sheffield, and thus let the posting begin once more....

Yorkshire Post has an excellent piece from Ed Hall on Propeller's creation, aims, appeal and the future of the arts in light of recent funding cuts.

The Guardian is looking forward to the combination of Richard and Comedy as "an opportunity to see Propeller fly" and lists the shows as a pick for what to see in 2011.

Sheffield Telegraph has an interview with Richard Clothier, looking back on Propeller's history and discussing choices made for the staging and characterization in Richard III.

Gail-Nina Anderson explores and anticipates the men-as-women conceit in her piece for The Crack magazine, while CultureCritic previews Comedy by calling Propeller "Britain’s finest all-male Shakespearean acting troupe"

And, jumping ahead a bit, the Edinburgh Evening News' survey of the season assures audiences that "If Shakespeare isn't for you... think again, Propeller will change your mind," while a preview of BAM's spring season includes Comedy of Errors in its 'Shakespeare Trifecta,' remarking "theatergoers who have never seen an all-male Shakespeare comedy are in for a great surprise. When skilled actors are involved, gender becomes a non-issue in about five minutes. "

Finally, the rehearsal gallery on Propeller's official site gives just a taste of what can be expected on Wednesday.

Huntington Looks Forward

If you haven't checked it out yet, Boston's Huntington Theatre Co. has a wonderful website gearing up for Propeller's six week stint there in May/June of 2011. Currently you can enjoy an audio slide show (linked and below), with music and pictures from the production, and view costume and scenic renderings from both Richard III and Comedy of Errors.

More Rehearsal Photos

While I think only the second is one I haven't seen before (of Dominic Tighe and Robert Hands), Helen Maybanks Photography is another great source for Richard III rehearsal photos.

Pictures? Perfect.

Those looking for images should be sure to check out the Facebook pages of both the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and Drew Hart Photography for some great photos of Richard III, both on stage and in the rehearsal room.

Michigan Dispatches

Mary Roeder took a trip across the pond for UMS to report back on the rehearsals for Richard III. Here is her report, along with a slide show of rehearsal photos (including some not included in Propeller's own web gallery).
