David Tennant Treat 4 Today for Monday 7th August 2023

The David Tennant Treat 4 Today is the ninth production diary for Richard II which was posted onto YouTube by The Royal Shakespeare Company in 2013.

The description for this video is:
'Richard II has now opened in Stratford-upon-Avon to positive audience reactions and reviews. In this diary we go behind the scenes in the lead-up to a preview show.

Keith Osborn, who plays sir Stephen Scroop, meets us at the stage door and takes us into the dressing rooms for pre-show preparations.

James Kytto, the duty manager, greets us front of  house as the team prepares to welcome the public.

The doors open and theatre-goers arrive. Backstage Klare Rogers from the stage management team begins the count down to curtain up with a thirty minute call...'

David Tennant starred as Richard II in the Royal Shakespeare production of the play in Stratford-upon-Avon from Thursday 19th October until Saturday 16th November 2013 before transferring to the Barbican Centre in London from Monday 13th December 2013 until Saturday 24th January 2014.
