The Poel Event focuses on working for audible, comprehensible and believable speech in plays from the English classical repertoire. It is open to actors and directors, in their first ten years of work, who are interested in working on dramatic pieces to engage fully with characterisation, communication, and vocal delivery.
The STR organises this event in celebration of the pioneering work, at the start of the twentieth century, of actor-director William Poel, in reforming the staging of Shakespearian and early English drama, in exploring the lucidity of production afforded by the Elizabethan playhouse and in his application of a musical sensitivity to the actor's speech to fully engage the audience.
