Across the year we hope to show as many different facesof the county as we can and we invite you to delve intothe Yorkshire origins of the work. It will show itself in thesettings, like the great battle at Towton at the heart of ourpartnership with Shakespeares Globe to stage the Warsof the Roses or the night of bombings in York in 1942captured in the Youth Theatre production of WhereShadows Go at Night. It is inspired by our literary giants:two world premieres will be staged in this season, as wetake on one of the great novels of the county, TristramShandy, and one of the great contemporary novelist tocome from the country, A.S Byatt. New voices also featurewith plays from Laura Wade and Tom Wells, and fromtheatre companies such as TongueTied and the FlanaganCollective.

STORY TELLING

MON 25 FEB SAT 2 MARAdapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the novel by Susan Hill

The most terrifying live theatre experience in the world!

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, The Woman inBlack combines the power and intensity of live theatrewith a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir.The formula delivers an evening of unremitting drama,transporting the audience into a terrifying and ghostlyworld.

A lawyer engages a sceptical young actor to help him tellhis terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul.It all begins innocently enough, but as they reach furtherinto his darkest memories the borders between makebelieve and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins tocreep...

Now celebrating its 23rd year in the west end, over 7million people have lived to tell the tale of one of themost chilling and successful theatre events ever staged.

The most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will everencounter. If you havent seen this show yet you aremissing a treat Daily Telegraph

York Theatre Royal presents

iSHANDYFRI 19 APR SAT 11 MAYWritten by Richard Hurford

Very loosely based on the novel by Laurence Sterne with footnotes, gratitude,savoury snacks and pregnant pauses.

Members of a teachers Book Club meet to discuss the latest ambitiousread in their season of Yorkshire classics, the insurmountable TristramShandy.

Its fun loving English teacher Susans turn to host and as always, she insists onan elaborate fancy dress theme. As the friends gather dressed as charactersfrom the novel, excitement builds about meeting the groups newest member.After all, he was the one who suggested Tristram Shandy in the first place!

However, this is no ordinary cosy night in with a good book as the eveningtakes some extraordinary twists and turns. As confusion mounts and hilarityensues, the meeting descends into debauched absurdity and this cunningcomedy becomes as saucy, surreal and dangerous as Sterne himself.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is a novel by Coxwoldbased writer Laurence Sterne, released in nine volumes over seven years from1759. There will be several associated events linked to this new production tohelp celebrate the 300th anniversary of Laurence Sternes birth.Directed by Damian CrudenDesigned by Jane Linz Roberts

In pursuit of honesty,he embarks on a one-man crusade againstforked-tongues, frippery and fakery. Butcould the woman he has fallen in love withbe the worst culprit of all? And in thisrarified world will his revolution prove justrevolting?

Your father is a control freakThe family business is a millstone round your neckHome feels like a prisonAnd yet you have dreams

This powerful drama written and set in the North ofEngland, 1912, is an unflinching portrayal of anindustrial Edwardian family on the brink of collapse.

John Rutherford is a tyrannical patriarch, blind to thehopes and feelings of his family. The success of thefamily-owned glassworks, Rutherford & Son, takesprecedence over everything even happiness.

In a household run on fear cracks begin to appear.The emotional pitch builds up like a pressure cooker.The dramatic voltage intensifies as Rutherfordsabsolute authority is challenged and a catastrophicfamily mutiny begins to unfold, threatening todestroy his world and his factory.

Ranked by the National Theatre as one of the TopOne Hundred Plays of the Century, NorthernBroadsides, directed for the first time by therenowned director Jonathan Miller, bring itstrademark gritty, no nonsense performance style tothis astonishing play. Designed by Isabella Bywater

What if you were given the chance to startover? What if you could free yourself fromwhats gone before?

In the aftermath of a national tragedy, Bensees a way out of his marriage that he neverthought possible. But now the chance is there,is it really what he wants? Over the course ofan evening, he and his lover are forced toexamine their affair and to explore the realmeaning of love, commitment, identity, andwhat it really means to abandon your past.

The Mercy Seat was one of the mostsignificant artistic responses to the events ofSeptember 11th 2001. LaBute was inspired towrite it when, as a result of the tragedy, hisplane from Chicago to New York was cancelledand he thought, as he later explained to theNew York Times This is inconvenient.

Planet Theatre present

by William Shakespeare

WED 26 JUN - SAT 13 JULThis is a fantastic opportunity to seeShakespeares Globe opening a newversion of the first part of The Warsof the Roses here in York before theytake the production to London.

The plays which make upShakespeares Henry VI create aworld without ideology; a savagetime, when the heroes are not kings,but formidable women, such as Joanof Arc, or rebels, such as Jack Cade.

Bold characterisation, black comedy,rhetorical power and, in thepersonality of Henry VI, touchingpathos combine in Shakespearespowerful rendering of a countryracked by civil war.

We will conclude The Wars of theRoses with a production of RichardIII produced by York Theatre Royaland Nottingham Playhouse in ourAutumn Season.

Shakespeare almost certainly didnot set out to write to write a trilogy,so each play can be enjoyedwithout knowledge of the others.

32

Following the death of Henry V, celebrated for having united England andsubjugated France, divisions appear at the highest levels first betweenthose around the infant Henry VI, later between the two great factions inEnglish politics: the houses of Lancaster and York. Only the young LordTalbot, locked in combat with the bewitching and enigmatic Joan of Arc,seems capable of redeeming a divided and dishonoured kingdom.
