2011 Titles
Following publication last autumn of Measure, Shrew, Richard II and Troilus, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel of our mammoth project.We've just returned the proofs of Coriolanus, Merry Wives, Julius Caesar and Comedy of Errors, so if all goes well they should be out in April or May. The plan for the autumn is All's Well, Cymbeline, Two Gents and a double volume containing two classical plays - Titus and Timon. Pericles and the remaining histories will then round us off in the spring of 2012, creating a nice symmetry whereby we finish as the RSC launches its international Shakespeare festival for the Cultural Olympiad, just as we began with the Complete Works Festival of 2006-7.

I hate to be a nag, but is there any chance of an update on this? Cheers :)

Can anyone explain why the decision was taken to publish Titus Andronicus and Timon of Athens together in one volume?

Hello editorial team,
I am a big fan of your work and I have an ever growing collection of individual plays published under the Modern Library imprint. I am currently reading Julius Caesar (2011 Modern Library Paperback Edition). I just want to point out a typo which you may be aware of already.
In 2.1.39, Brutus asks Lucius "Is not tomorrow, boy, the first of March?"
It should of course be "... the ides of March?"
I am sure this will be corrected in the next edition.
In the meantime I look forward to adding The Tempest and Coriolanus to my collection.
Best regards,
Henny
