Only Northerners Need Apply? Northern Broadsides and No-nonsense Shakespeare
View through CrossRef
Caroline Heaton shows how, following its formation in 1992, the Northern Broadsides has been a regular source of Northern-infused energetic productions of works by Shakespeare, in the shape of Barrie Rutter’s company. Rutter, part of the post-war generation of working-class drama students who wanted more than walk-on parts or character roles, pioneered a kind of quickfire Shakespeare performance arguably closer to the original than the RSC, with the focus on substance rather than show. All of Northern Broadsides’ shows are in broad Yorkshire dialect regardless of the play or character, so the language does not sound ‘authentic’ in any historical sense, but Heaton makes a strong case for seeing and hearing Northern Shakespeare as the real thing, or as real as theatre gets.
