Spring at the Court

Dominic Cooke has announced the spring 2009 season at the Royal Court.

"It is impossible," he said, "to express just how exhilarating it is to be Artistic Director of the unique group of people who make up the Royal Court, especially in these shifting and perplexing times. The Royal Court explores today's headlines, tomorrow's inheritance, and the shockwaves of our recent past. Our programme for the next six months will tackle head on what it means to be alive now, with the legacy of the last century on our shoulders."

The season consists of:
