the forces behind
S 2o

The hype surrounding the Royal Shakespeare Company's
stop in Ann Arbor has mostly buzzed around Patrick Stewart. But
take a closer look, and you'll see that it takes more than the actors to
put together an impressive production. Crew members, engineers and
designers for the RSC have made themselves at home at the University,
working with local stage professionals as they put together every
show, making sure that each is as perfectly dramatic as the last.
