Welcome to Sheffield Theatres Production Insights for Don Carlos.

These resources have been written for all members of our audience, regardless of age, who would like to know more about our work and how it is created.

Additionally, teachers may wish to use elements of the resources as a means of integrating ICT into the classroom and to encourage students in independent research to support their analysis of live theatre.

For ease it has been separated into two main sections. The first contains extensive information focusing on the creation of our production and the second provides useful background information to the play.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Grandage, Christopher Oram, Adam Cork, Paule Constable and our full company of actors for their kindness in allowing us into their rehearsals and sharing their thoughts, ideas and creative processes with us.

We hope that these resources will enable you to enjoy, and learn more about our work, and we would welcome any feedback you may wish to give.
