Abstract

The rehearsal and staging of work that was created outside a discrete culture can present significant challenges, including within an educational context. This article highlights and unpicks the range of challenges that can face a director of stage plays written by Sir Alan Ayckbourn, when the work is planned, rehearsed and staged within a non-British context. The piece concludes with short exercises to help guide the director of work by Ayckbourn
