ANN ARBOR (December 7, 2005) — The University Musical Society announces that the Royal
Shakespeare Company (RSC) will return to the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor for a
three-week residency in October and November 2006, featuring performances of Antony and Cleopatra,
Julius Caesar, and The Tempest, with film and television star Patrick Stewart in leading roles.
UMS and the U-M campus will be the sole venue for the three plays, which are part of the RSC’s
recently announced Complete Works Festival, which begins in April 2006.
British actor Patrick Stewart, an honorary associate artist with the RSC and Captain Jean-Luc Picard of
Star Trek fame, performs the leading roles of Antony in Antony and Cleopatra (with Harriet Walter as
Cleopatra) and Prospero in The Tempest. As in past residencies, the plays will utilize ensemble casting,
with approximately 28 actors performing in all three titles.
Tickets for Royal Shakespeare Company 2006: A Festival of Shakespeare’s Classics will go on sale
in February 2006. The RSC will give seven performances of each title in the Power Center for the
Performing Arts (121 Fletcher Street). Additional daytime performances will be scheduled for
schoolchildren. The plays will be performed October 24 – November 12; schedules for performances
and related activities will be issued at a later date. For information or to be added to the mailing list, call
