From page to stage: How do you adapt Shakespeare?

Cecelia Swartz | Friday, September 22, 2023

Last Friday, the Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company (NSR) put on an unrehearsed production of “Henry IV Part I.” The play is one of Shakespeare’s less popular histories that tells the story of warring factions and attempted rebellion during the reign of England’s Henry IV.

Anna Falk | Wednesday, April 19, 2023

The Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of “Much Ado About Nothing” begs the question: “How do you build trust in a relationship, and what happens when it is broken?” Director Nandini Sadagopan fell in love with this play at first read, admiring the presence of strong female characters Beatrice and Hero that she could look up

Not-so-Royal Shakespeare Co. gives incredible performance

Marcelle Couto | Tuesday, November 15, 2022

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Not-So-Royal (NSR) Shakespeare Co. performed an only slightly abridged “The Winter’s Tale” (circa 1609-1611), which, with its almost symmetrical split into two halves of dark tragedy and comic romance, illustrates — perhaps more clearly than any other Shakespearean play — the genre of tragicomedy. The tragedy of King Leontes

‘Measure for Measure’ more than measures up to expectations

Cecelia Swartz | Friday, March 18, 2022

The Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company (NSR) delivered a stunning, intense and thought-provoking performance of “Measure for Measure.” The play, one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known works, is often considered one of the bard’s problem plays because it does not fit into his usual genres of tragedy, history or comedy. The work covers tragic themes of sexual assault, abuse

NSR’s ‘Julius Caesar’ reinvents student theater for age of COVID

Lexi Kilcoin | Thursday, October 29, 2020

From wearing masks to virtual “Bachelorette” watch parties to Zoom University to the HERE™ campaigns flooding Notre Dame’s campus, COVID-19 has impacted students’ lives significantly. Entertainment has not gone anywhere, though. It might look a little different, but it manages to find its way to audiences. Live theater is coming back as well, as the

Theater group brings ‘Cymbeline’ to the stage

Mariah Rush | Thursday, November 15, 2018

Faked deaths. Real deaths. An evil stepmother. Conspiracies. Betrayal. Love. Ghosts. A god. You can catch all of these elements at the Not-So-Royal (NSR) Shakespeare Company’s production of “Cymbeline,” which is running from Thursday to Saturday. “I think it’s one of the most intense plots Shakespeare ever wrote … I like to think of it

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
