Summary: | Description: Research bulletin for The 2002 Globe Season production of The Golden Ass by The Rose Company. The bulletin contains notes about production, design, movement, rehearsals, and technical issues. Useful points are made about stage design such as that the production team decided that the 'writing was far too immediate and vibrant to be confined to a period piece in the form of togas and classical civilisations' and that instead influences for the design were drawn from 'early music hall and film era, circus acts and freak-shows' as well as 'fairground images'. The sections detailing the rehearsals of the play are particularly interesting in terms of the details recorded about changes to scenes, interpreting the play, cuts and rewrites, and the exercises the company took part in during rehearsals.
