None of the actors had ever acted in or seen a production of the play. It was a thrilling adventure to discover it in the company of actors who love Elizabethan theatre. And, I thought it was actually really important and exciting. So I dusted off my college textbook, and found this play. ![]() Hey, when you’re on a roll with incredibly unpopular Elizabethan titles, you’ve got to ride the wave. However, after audiences reacted so positively to KING JOHN, and - while it didn’t draw as many people as one of the most popular comedies, it did better than expected in terms of audience numbers - it seemed like a great time to reconsider THE SPANISH TRAGEDY. But little known plays by practically unknown Elizabethan playwrights don’t immediately correlate with box office success, so we never really took seriously the idea of staging the play. Over the past 15 years or so, I’d mention it every so often when were were choosing a season. ![]() And I vaguely remembered that it was a revenge tragedy. ![]() I vaguely remembered that I’d learned it was important and exciting.

Written in the shadow of the Great War, Howards End is shot through with anxiety about the great imminent conflict, and attempts a resolution via Forster’s favourite formula: “personal relations.” England, Germany, and the compromise between them are all embodied as fully individuated characters, playing out personal conflicts in turn-of-the-century Britain. ![]() If A Passage to India meditates on the possibility of true friendship between Indian and Britisher under colonial conditions, then Howards End considers the possibility of keeping the peace between Britain and Germany. ![]() While his characters are vivid and unique, they exist primarily as embodiments of ideas. ![]() |
