Happy New Year Tablers! For our first production of the new year, we thought we would take a look back at where we began, so we are releasing our first ever recordings - discussing Romeo and Juliet. For this series Nicholas Koy Santillo acts as Director, and brings a clear and specific concept to the group for his favourite Shakespeare show. Also in the room for this introduction episode are; Sam Gilroy (Keep an eye out for his upcoming show 'Billions' on Showtime, premiering January 17!), Jennifer Chandler (Who has just begun her tour across America with the smash hit musical 'Once'), Tedra Millan (Currently wrapping up a long run of 'The Flick' at the Barrow Street theatre in NYC, which closes Jan 10), Ariana Karp (Newly appointed Associate Artistic Director of the International Shakespeare Centre), and Samantha Blinn (fellow LAMDA grad and founding member of the Ducdame Ensemble).
In this episode Koy reveals his concept for Romeo and Juliet, and we discuss the historical and cultural points surrounding it.
