The Bard in Georgian
• RE Shakespeare and the Roundhouse prove a perfect match, June 5, the recent RSC run of Shakespeare’s history plays at the Roundhouse is not the first time that Shakespeare’s plays have figured on the bill.
Many years ago the Georgian Rustaveli Company brought their production of Richard III [translated into Georgian] to the Roundhouse for a short season, the last night performance also culminating in standing ovations and throwing of flowers, and a “phenomenally successful production”.
As the whole performance by the Rustaveli Company was in Georgian, reviewers did not know what to make of it, but news of its success was spread by word of mouth, so that the last performance was packed out.
As a member of the Richard III Society, with a good knowledge of the play, I had a fair idea of what was going on, and was able to follow the action
