Des Scientifiques Japonais viennent de passer une nouvelle étape en faisant jouer des robots comme des acteurs à part entière dans une pièce de théâtre. Les deux robots stars: Takeo et Momoko jouent dans Hataraku Watashi (’Moi travailler’) aux côtés de deux acteurs humains. L’histoire met en scène les deux robots qui partagent l’appartement avec un couple d’humains. Les spectateurs se prennent d’affection pour les deux humanoïdes. Les producteurs, Osaka University’s Department of Adaptive Machine ...

Check the sked - can you see Sean Penn’s face filling up the entire calendar? It’s ALL MILK, ALL THE TIME starting this very moment at the Castro Theatre. Harvey Milk’s story is the talk of the nation today. The film is highly thought of, with a very high 92% positive score on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatomater. If you go, you can see all your friends as extras. And the theater itself was practically a ...

"World-renowned theatre maker Robert Lepage is to join forces with dancer Sylvie Guillem and choreographer Russell Maliphant to create a new show called Eonnagata, which will be staged as part of Sadler's Wells spring 2009 season. The story recounts the life of Charles de Beaumont, a member of French King Louis XV's spy network, the King's Secret, whose true gender was a constant source of speculation right up to his death."

Are Shakespeare's plays more than their poetry? They must be – otherwise we would read them, not act them. If, for British audiences, it is the poetry that is paramount, then no one would ever go to see a foreign-language Shakespeare production. Yet we do in our thousands.Shakespeare wasn't just a poet; he was also a brilliant and demanding playwright. Some of the best Shakespeare productions I've seen were in Romanian, Russian and Spanish – ...

With “Any Regrets?” as the on-screen heading, Katie Couric pressed “independent Democratic” Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut to atone for campaigning with unsuccessful Republican presidential candidate John McCain and criticizing eventual winner Barack Obama. Couric's first question in the interview excerpt aired on Wednesday's CBS Evening News: “Do you feel as if you owe President-elect Obama one?” Couric next pushed Lieberman to take back an attack: “You said, on whether Senator Obama is a Marxist, ...

Is there a dramatist currently less fashionable than TS Eliot? The verse-drama revival he so ardently championed bit the dust. His high Anglicanism is now a minority taste. Even the drawing-room settings he used as a spiritual battleground seem redolent of a lost world. The ultimate irony is that Eliot achieved the theatrical breakthrough he sought only with Cats: a musical that, at the last count, had been seen by over 50 million people worldwide; ...

Whatever you think about David Hare, he certainly stirs it up. His new play, Gethsemane, may have opened to mixed reviews but it has got people talking and columnists pontificating. In the Daily Telegraph, Charlie Spencer's hostile overnight notice has now been followed up by a think-piece from Dominic Cavendish that makes three key points: that Gethsemane, in dealing with Labour funding, is already out-of-date. That political theatre has lately been "ineffectual as a podium ...

A few weeks back, I saw a new play. I thought the play itself was pretty good but it had been badly served by the director, who was more interested in making pretty pictures and creating atmosphere than telling the story. I then saw the debut play of a young writer; it was clearly full of promise but its flaws seemed to have been magnified rather than diminished by the production.Then, of course, there is ...
