Royal Shakespeare Company artistic director, Adrian Noble, has been busy directing the guaranteed West End smash hit Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.
Meanwhile, reorganising has been going on in the company, headed by managing director Chris Foy.
 This programme demonstrates the best of the RSC's past, but also signals a fresh approach

Adrian Noble has decided to try and widen the RSC audience. Now there are six separate companies in Stratford, London and elsewhere, all part of the RSC in its new ensemble style.
This is all part of Adrian Noble's vision for the company, as he said:
"Renewal of a theatrical institution like the RSC was never going to be easy, but it was absolutely necessary.
"This programme offers audiences the chance to see some exceptional theatre. It demonstrates all the very best hallmarks of the RSC's past, but also signals a fresh approach that I hope will become a dynamic force in classical theatre."

Much Ado about Nothing and Antony and Cleopatra will open the season at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
To ensure success, audiences are being promised big performances from some big names, too. Stuart Wilson, Sinead Cusack, Nicholas Le Prevost and Harriet Walter will all be performing.
This is great news, considering the bad response Adrian Noble has had to the new shorter contracts for actors at the RSC.
The RSC will also be performing five Jacobean plays at the Swan, Edward III, Eastward Ho! The Roman Actor, The Island Princess and The Malcontent.
This work represents a chance to see the drama being produced from a historical period that is usually overshadowed by Marlowe and Shakespeare.
One of the founding principles of the RSC 42 years ago was to allow actors the chance to be cross-cast in a variety of plays.
I think both the audiences and the actors will be pleased of the chance to enjoy a range of plays. Time and the box office will tell.
