Blackfriars Stage Company
This young troupe of travelling players has been called the country's most important Shakespeare company. They have revived Elizabethan staging techniques to create the most energetic production of Shakespeare's plays available today. Dispensing with fussy accents and elaborate sets, the Blackfriars Stage Company depends instead on the vibrancy of Shakespeare's language and the possibilities for audience interaction provided by their "lights on" approach to the plays.
Each year the Blackfriars Stage Company performs three plays in repertory, and conducts workshops with first-year English classes.
