\paperw5085 \margr0\margl0\ATXph16380 \plain \fs20 \f1 \fs22 The Royal Shakespeare Company was set up as a theatre company in the 1960s with the primary objective of putting on r
egular productions of ShakespeareÆs plays. It has a long summer season in Stratford-upon-Avon, ShakespeareÆs birthplace, as well as a London home at the \b \cf4 \ATXht11671000 Barbican Centre\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 . Such performances, especially those in Str
atford, reveal to what extent Shakespeare is indeed a living legend. English actors have the rare skill of blending their own personalities with the character of the part they are interpreting, bringing new insight to every nuance of human nature and th
ereby also revealing the depth and relevance of words penned long ago.\par
