Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry—William Shakespeare—. But there are two distinctly separate and increasing hostile branches. There is the (1) ______ Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, and to look at Anne (2) ______ Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights. The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly like the RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards (3) ______ and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns his living, was himself an actor and did his share of (4) ______ noise-making. The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus don’t usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage little sight-seeing along (5) ______ with their playgoing. The townsfolk don’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the RSC. Stratford cries poorly (6) ______ traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, all which you may (7) ______ be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very cheap. (8) ______ Anyway, the townsfolk can’t understand why the RSC needs a subsidy. The reason, of course, is that the costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low. It would be a shame to rise prices too much (9) ______ much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive customers. They come entirely for the plays, not sights. (10) ______ They all seem to look alike.
