The Author: Discussion with Tim Crouch (Writer), Karl James & Andy Smith (Directors)

'I have the choice to continue.  I have the choice to stop.'

Settle back into the warmth of the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs.  Relax as the story unfolds. For you. With you. Of you. A story of hope, violence and exploitation. Laugh with the actors, tap your feet to the music, turn to your neighbour. You’re here.

Tim Crouch’s new play is about the abuse carried out in the name of the spectator. His previous plays include England, An Oak Tree and My Arm.

‘Tim Crouch is a peach of a theatre maker: conceptual without being obscure; experimental without losing the plot, or indeed faith in the power of words to move you.’ Time Out

Jez Butterworth (Writer) and Ian Rickson (Director) discussing the new play 'Jerusalem'.
Jerusalem (10 July - 15 August)
Written by Jez Butterworth



"My dad said he jumped buses. Horseboxes. Jumped an aqueduct once. He was gonna jump Stonehenge but the council put a stop to it."

On St George's Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny Byron, local waster and modern day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his children want their dad to take them to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants to give him a serious kicking and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.

Jez Butterworth's new play is a comic, contemporary vision of life in our green and pleasant land. His previous plays for the Royal Court include The Winterling, The Night Heron and Mojo.

Director Ian Rickson
Designer Ultz
Lighting Mimi Jordan Sherin
Sound Ian Dickinson for Autograph
Composer Stephen Warbeck

Aunt Dan and Lemon by Wallace Shawn

20 May - 27 June

We all remember a favourite aunty, uncle or grandparent, someone who, in our childhood, told us tales that made our toes curl and stories of wonder. For Lemon, it was Aunt Dan. A brilliant, intoxicating but dangerous woman who shared all the most intimate and daring secrets of her decadent, exotic adult world...

Jane Horrocks, Paul Chahidi and Dominic Cooke talk about rehearsals for Aunt Dan and Lemon.

The Fever Podcast - Wallace Shawn Season
The Fever - WALLACE SHAWN SEASON
Written by Wallace Shawn
2 April - 2 May

"And there's an amazing moment: each day, before the market opens, before the bidding begins, there's a moment of confusion. The money is silent, it hasn't yet spoken."

 

A traveller from a privileged background visits an impoverished foreign country and suddenly becomes ill. As her temperature begins to rise, she becomes emotionally unsettled and contemplates with lacerating frankness the impact her life has had on the world.

 

The Fever turns up the heat on individual responsibility and the balance of power. Can we, should we, make the world a fairer place?

 

Clare Higgins delivers The Fever, Wallace Shawn's seminal play.  

 

Director Dominic Cooke

Lighting Jean Kalman

Cast Clare Higgins

"I found you. You're here. And I was over there. But now I'm over here. I'm here. You're my brother. I love you"
