DIRECTORS NOTE
Recently there has been a lot of talk about whether
culture; theatre, art, films are important, and indeed
governments are very keen to limit funding for arts
organisations with excuses of budget cuts. But imagine
if we were not allowed art? No freedom of choice in
music, theatre, painting? The importance of the arts
rises when banished by an oppressive society and as
humans we find ways of including art even within barren
prison walls; painting on brick, smuggled books, music
transposed on crude machines. In Shakespeare’s day
theatre was in constant battle with the establishment
and fought hard to have theatres opened, running and
vibrant. Theatre can be a protest, (among other themes
Shakespeare’s Richard III can be seen as a treatise on
Queen Elizabeth’s ponderous decision on succession)
and many plays have hidden meanings. Art can also be
solace in times of duress and in some countries, escape
from a heartless society. The idea of art being banished
completely - as with many countries in various upheavals
- even in our times - led me to think of a play being
performed by players hidden away from their oppressors
as a private protest and as a solace for those who have
to keep their spirt alive. Shakespeare’s Richard III offers
poetry and protest, and whatever it wants to be within its
written walls. - MARK KILMURRY
