A life-size bronze statue of the North East's favourite Shakespeare character, Mercutio, will be unveiled at the Theatre Royal by Royal Shakespeare Company star Jonjo O'Neill on Monday 23 April as part of the Theatre's 175 Birthday celebrations.
Jonjo is currently filming Bad Sugar, a new half-hour pilot commissioned by Channel 4 and written by Peep Show Creators Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong. It is reportedly a spoof of Dynasty-style shows and stars Olivia Colman, Julia Davis and Sharon Horgan.
You can now download a recording of As You Like It from Digital Theatre. The recording was captured live at the Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon in September 2010.
Following their hugely successful, Olivier Award-winning Histories Season in 2008, the RSC returns to London's Roundhouse in November 2010 to present a ten-week repertoire of eight plays by Shakespeare.
