The discussion generated by the 2009 production through an open-access website determined the research agenda for two workshops performed in the Great Hall of Hampton Court Palace in March 2010. These aimed to explore dual aspects of the text by performing two scenes in two different ways - one overtly comic, and one which foregrounded the 'serious' telling of each character's story. We also investigated the impact of early modern stage lighting techniques upon performance by approximating the effects of candlelight in the Great Hall.
The March 2010 workshops were directed by Gregory Thompson with a cast consisting of:
| Peter Kenny James Lailey Jenni Maitland Mary Jo Randle Danny Scheinmann |
Jupiter The Gentleman The Gentlewoman The Laundress Merry Report |
