'Lechery, lechery, still wars and lechery: nothing else holds fashion'

Troilus and Cressida swear they will always be true to one another. But in the seventh year of the siege of Troy their innocence is tested, and exposed to the savage corrupting influence of war, with tragic consequences.

Virtuoso percussionist Evelyn Glennie collaborates with RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran to create a satirical futuristic vision of a world resounding with the rhythm of battle.

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE

A portrait of power at its most charismatic and violent, Tamburlaine was one of the first big hits of the English stage.

Tamburlaine is a poor shepherd who rises to power to live out his blood-soaked fantasy of conquering the world. His extravagant savagery shows what horror can result when unlimited political libido is let loose upon the world.

Michael Boyd returns to the RSC for the first time since leaving as Artistic Director in 2012 to direct this ambitious epic.

Poignant, funny and bitter, this is a rare chance to see Shakespeare's most modern creation: a story of how the world moves from privilege to poverty with heartbreaking speed.

Timon is a celebrated member of the establishment, whose exploitation by false friends forces us to gaze into the cravings we all share. Simon Godwin (The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Hamlet) returns to direct Kathryn Hunter as Timon in Shakespeare’s sharp satire on wealth, greed and betrayal.

The performances on 15 and 16 January 2019 will be filmed for future broadcast.

DAY OF THE LIVINGCREATED BY DARREN CLARKE, AMY DRAPER AND JULIET GILKES ROMEROAyotzinapa, Mexico, 2014. 43 students are forcefully disappeared. No one is brought to justice.

An anarchic, musical tribute to life and the Mexican spirit with urgent, global issues at its hear t.

#NosFaltan43 #HastaEncontrarlos #AyotzinapaSomosTodos

#WEAREARRESTEDBY CAN DÜNDARADAPTED BY PIPPA HILL AND SOPHIE IVATTSWhen a journalist receives a flash-drive containing critical evidence of i l legal government activity, he is duty-bound to publish the story. But with the nation destabilised and divided, a sinister power is eroding the rule of law, and he soon finds himself risking everything for his profession.

#WeAreArrested is the true story of a journalist’s commitment to expose the truth in the face of huge personal risks. This deeply moving play is a tribute to the bravery of journalists under threat around the globe.

THREE LETTERSWRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY NELL LEYSHONI am trying to remember the young woman that I was before I had children. I am trying to see who I am now… I am a writer and I have a splinter of ice in my heart and in my eye.

Nell Leyshon performs her own story of how her reinvention of herself af ter children is halted by illness. I t is a story of the body, medicine, statistics and the NHS; a story of motherhood and being a woman; a story of writing and performing told with soul-bearing honesty.

THE OTHER PLACE

31 MAY – 23 JUNE

The Mischief Festival returns to The Other Place in 2018 with

a double-bill of new plays exploring global questions of

truth, freedom and corruption; a very personal one-woman show; and, in September, a brand new

version of a landmark play.

Imagine arriving somewhere new, only to find that everyone there already seems to know who you are. When Antipholus arrives in Ephesus in search of his family, he gets a little more than he bargained for. Strangers say hello as if they’ve known him for years, people give him expensive jewellery and a rather odd woman seems to think she’s his wife.

Two sets of identical twins later, everyone is very confused…
