SHAKESPEARE ANNOUNCEMENTS
In a unique collaboration between Fierce! and the Royal Shakespeare Company we will be recording a series of everyday public service announcements for broadcast across a wide range of public spaces in Birmingham and Stratford upon-Avon: including shopping centres, train and bus stations, sports stadia and schools. The announcements will be recorded and broadcast by RSC Associate artists whose distinct voices are easily recognisable.
But here’s the rub! All of the announcements will be spoken in the basis of Shakespeare’s verse and the natural meter of English narrative poetry – Blank Verse. While some of the announcements will be written by the Royal Shakespeare’s team of writers, two announcements will be selected by a judging panel of theatre experts through a public competition. The winning entries will then be recorded by an RSC Associate artist and broadcast in public over the summer.
Imagine the thrill of hearing your own recording broadcast in public and listened to by thousands!
The competition is open and free to enter at www.youbethebard.co.uk
