RSC Erica Whyman Offers Up a Bold Challenge



Erica Whyman, Deputy Artistic Director with the Royal Shakespeare Company, doesn't so much introduce the upcoming season's fare as she does challenge her actors and audience in a bolder, more contemporary, socially conscious mindset toward Shakespeare.  For example, she references the saying that well-behaved women seldom make history.  So she asks, What does it mean to be well-behaved and badly-behaved and to make history in the context of being a woman?

I'm intrigued.
