MEMBERS of the York Theatre Royal repertory company take time out from rehearsals to pose for a team picture for the Evening Press.
The company this week began preparations for their main house and studio productions for the coming season.
In the main auditorium, the autumn company will be performing three very different productions playing different shows every night. A main theme for this season is love and passion starting with Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, running from September 14 to November 17.
Next up is Les Liaisons Dangereuses in which two outrageously dashing Frenchmen do French things like flirt, seduce and betray with "devastating consequences"; this runs from October 6 to November 16.
Then comes The Blue Room by David Hare, concerned with desire, deceit, imagination and experience; this runs from October 10 to November 15.
Meanwhile in the new studio, John Kirk and Lucy Chalkley begin with Happy Jack, an affectionate play following the relationship of a couple "from first love to last breath" running from September 5 to November 2. The next play, Live Bed Show, features a risqu double act, and finally comes Disco Pigs, a moving and often funny story exploring the rifts in modern society through the eyes of two teenagers, Pig and Runt.
