[Recent Changes at the Royal Shakespeare Company]
[By John Smith]
Feb, 20, 2020
We are all different. While most people recognize that the world is made
up of a wide variety of people, diversity--showing and accepting our
differences--is often not reflected in performing arts organizations. For
this reason, there is an increasing demand for movies and plays to better
represent people from various backgrounds as well as those with
disabilities. Arts Council England, in response to this demand, is
encouraging all publicly funded arts organizations to make improvements
in this area. One theater company responding positively is the Royal
Shakespeare Company (RSC), which is one of the most influential theater
companies in the world.
Based in Stratford 0upon-Avon in the UK, the RSC produces plays by
William Shakespeare and a number of other famous authors. These days, the
RSC is focused on diversity in an attempt to represent all of UK society
accurately. It works hard to balance the ethnic and social backgrounds,
the genders, and the physical abilities of both performers and staff when
hiring.
During the summer 2019 season, the RSC put on three of Shakespeare's
comedies: As You Like It, The Taming of the Shrew, and Measure for Measure.
Actors from all over the country were employed, forming a 27-member cast,
reflecting the diverse ethnic, geographical, and cultural population of
the UK today. To achieve gender balance for the entire season, half of all
roles were given to male actors and half to female actors. The cast
included three actors with disabilities (currently referred to as
"differently-abled" actors)--one visually-impaired, one hearing-impaired,
and one in a wheelchair.
Changes went beyond the hiring policy. The RSC actually rewrote parts of
the play to encourage the audience to reflect on male/female power
relationships. For example, female and male roles were reversed. In The
Taming of the Shrew, the role of "the daughter" in the original was
transformed into "the son" and played by a male actor. In the same play,
a male servant character was rewritten as a female servant. That role was
played by Amy Trigg, a female actor who uses a wheelchair. Trigg said that
she was excited to play the role and believed that the RSC's changes would
have a large impact on other performing arts organizations. Excited by all
the diversity, other members of the RSC expressed the same hope--that more
arts organizations would be encouraged to follow in the RSC's footsteps.
The RSC's decision to reflect diversity in the summer 2019 season can be
seen as a new model for arts organizations hoping to make their
organizations inclusive. While there are some who are reluctant to accept
diversity in classic plays, others welcome it with open arms. Although
certain challenges remain, the RSC has earned its reputation as the face
of progress.
