Shakespeare Season
Six of the seven plays in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 1968 Shapespeare season at Stratford-Upon-Avon are by Shakespeare. A new production of "Julius Caesar” will open the season on April 3. This will be followed by new productions of “King Lear,” “The Merry Wives or Windsor” (not seen at Stratford since 1955), “Troilus and Cressida,” and “Much Ado About Nothing,” and a revival of one of last season’s biggest successes, “As You Like it.” The seventh play will be the first Stratford production for 21 years of Marlowe’s “Doctor Faustus,” which continues Peter Hall’s policy of introducing plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries into the Stratford repertoire.
