What's happening?

Everything is changing in Britain. There is a new King. There is a new prime ministerA prime minister is the head of government in a country with a parliamentary system. . And now, there are two new people in charge of the Royal Shakespeare Company, a theatre company that performs plays by William ShakespeareAn English playwright and poet who is often called the greatest writer in the English language. . Their names are Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey. 

They have a tough job ahead of them. They have to find the best actors and new ways to perform very old plays. They need to make people excited about Shakespeare. 

Normally, only one person would do this job. But Evans and Harvey chose to work together, and the company agreed. Some people think everyone should share a job. Two people can have twice as many ideas, work together to find answers to problems and halve each other's stressFeelings of worry or pressure. . If two people do one job, they can both have more free time. Everyone wins. 

But others say most jobs are only for one person for a reason. A person who does not share their job can know everything about it and become an expertSomeone who knows a lot about a particular subject.. Not everyone wants to share their work with someone else. And most jobs simply do not need two people.
