The Good Olde Days

The Guardian’s Theatre critic Michael Billington sets out Michael ‘Two Rivers’ Boyd’s plans for the future of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Apparently lots of cold showers and heady intellectual exercises are on the cards for the present wimpy acting ensemble as ‘Two Rivers’ attempts to return to the good old days of the Jam Factory. In other words, less Corporation more Claustrophobic, no that can’t be right. Less Corporation more like the Co-op er…no. Um. Ah. Less Corporation more Corpulence, No. It's on the tip of me tongue. Got it…less Corporation more Company.
All well and good Boydy my old son but you’re forgetting one vital ingredient if you really want to return to the time when the Royal Shakespeare was held in awe worldwide. Booze mate. Booze and lots of it.
