International Playwrights at the Royal Court The Royal Court Theatre has announced its next International Playwrights Season, opening on 11th February, which includes new plays from Colombia and Latvia and a series of readings and events from Latin America and Eastern Europe.
The season, which marks fifteen years of the Royal Court’s commitment to finding and developing international work, includes full productions of Colombian playwright Pedro Miguel Rozo’s new play Our Private Life and Latvian Aleksey Scherbak’s play Remembrance Day.
A series of rehearsed readings accompanies the season, including work from Mexican playwright Zaría Abreu with Cinema Red and Chilean writer Guillermo Calderón with new plays Villa and Speech. From Eastern Europe, there will be readings of The Harvest by Pavel Pryazhko from Belarus and Pagans by Anna Yablonskaya from Ukraine.
In addition, there will be a programme of seminars – panel discussions exploring the political situation in both regions and the effects of the Royal Court’s international work on the British theatre artists who have taken part. There will also be live music in the café bar on two late night events in the Royal Court café bar. Our Private Life by Pedro Miguel Rozo, translated by Simon Scardifield and directed by Lyndsey Turner, runs from 11th February to 12th March in the Theatre Upstairs. The cast includes Ishia Bennison, Clare Cathcart, Eugene O’Hare, Adrian Schiller, Colin Morgan, Anthony O’Donnell and Joshua Williams. Remembrance Day by Aleksey Scherbak, translated by Rory Mullarkey and directed by Michael Longhurst runs from 18th March to 16th April in the Theatre Upstairs. The cast includes Ewan Hooper and Sam Kelly. More casting will be announced later.
