Dateline: 30th May, 2007
The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced that King Lear and The Seagull, currently playing in The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford, will transfer to the New London Theatre from 12th November 2007, for a limited run, after completing a world tour after their Newcastle-upon-Tyne season (29th June - 3rd July), to Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the US
The two productions, directed by Trevor Nunn and with the original cast led by Ian McKellen and Frances Barber, will play in repertoire in the theatre which for many years housed Nunn’s groundbreaking production of Cats.
RSC Executive Director Vikki Heywood said, “We are delighted that the company is getting the chance to perform in the New London. The RSC has played in a variety of venues in the capital, including the Haymarket, Playhouse and Trafalgar Studioss. We are also continuing our five year relationship with Cameron Mackintosh, whose theatres, including the Gielgud, Coward and Novello, have recently housed the company’s London seasons to great box office success.”
The New London Theatre is owned and operated by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group (RUG), which said today, “We are delighted to welcome the RSC to the New London. Our unique flexible stage and auditorium will allow for Trevor Nunn’s repertoire to transfer with ease from the Courtyard in Stratford.” Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
