“No pressure then…fine!”
In the new video production diary from the Royal Shakespeare
Company, David Tennant talks about his excitement in the lead-up to his – and the
RSC’s - first ever live theatre performance to audiences in cinemas across the
world.
“It’s very exciting to think that this is going to be beamed
around the world” he says. “It’s going to be like experiencing, I hope, the
live event. We won’t be changing our acting, we’ll still be acting for the back
row of the stalls…it’ll feel hopefully like you’re in the theatre live with us.”
Richard
II starring David
Tennant, Nigel Lindsay, Michael Pennington and Oliver Ford Davies plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon until 16th November. It then transfers to the Barbican in London from 9th December to the 25th January 2014.
