Year 12 and 13 theatre trip to the Round House

As part of unit 3 and unit 6 of the AS and A2, theatre visits are analysed in terms of style and staging and actor audience relationship, to fit the criteria of each of the exams. Visit the Roundhouse website linked to this blog to find out more about the play. Check out their video clips of the show and directors account of the making of this show.


A theatrical event like no other, this incredible spectacle combines the astonishing skills of actors, dancers, martial arts experts, musicians and street acrobats from across India and Sri Lanka.

Two years in the making, the show (commissioned and presented by the British Council) caused a sensation in
India where it played Delhi, Mumbai (Bombay), Chennai (Madras) and Kolkata (Calcutta). A sell-out run at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon followed, and now finally in 2007, London audiences can experience this
breathtaking production prior to a UK and World Tour.

The Roundhouse plays host to Tim Supple's acclaimed Indian production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's dream for a strictly limited 6-week season from 8 March 2007. This is the first play to be performed in this landmark venue since its magnificent redevelopment.
