Designing Shakespeare Collection - Designing Same Play
Filename	:	DS_CD_au10.mov
Description	:	Question: How do you find working on the same play with different directors like for example The Winters Tale, which you've done twice with two different directors? Does it change you're approach to the play, does it make you see the play in a different way? Answer: ? I think when you've done one production you always feel that you'd like to improve it, that you make mistakes or there are some things that didn't work out quite like you wanted them to and that you want to kind of get it right, so I think doing a show more than once is, can be a good thing. I didn't find it difficult at all. I think that because there were two different directors involved, it became very easy to do two different interpretations, I didn't think about them. Question: There wasn't a carry over from one to the other? Answer: Not really. There was a carry over of knowledge, of short cutting things of things that were already there. I think one of the things that you would look for in Shakespeare are the things that can trip you up, the things that you can think are not important first time round but second time round you go 'ah, now I've got to get that right because that could be a real problem later on'.
