Synopsis: First of two programmes providing a behind-the-scenes look at theatre craft and theatre production.

The programmes also draw on several other productions from the 1998 RSC season, covering a range of technical problems and a variety of theatre craft skills in some very different contexts - from the bloodbath of `The Spanish Tragedy' to the comedy of `Much ado about nothing' to the magic of `The Tempest' and the fun of `Bartholomew fair'. The programme titles are: `The Stage: Set, props and paint' and `The Players: Costume, wigs, weapons and make-up'
