Royal Shakespeare Theatre Schedule for Spring to Summer 2022:
In an imagined futuristic world, two very different couples fall in love – but who is really pulling the strings? A story of matchmaking and manipulation, dastardly plots, hilarious slapstick and some of Shakespeare’s wittiest dialogue. The perfect way to celebrate the joy of live theatre.
Henry VI: Rebellion hurtles through one of the most turbulent periods in English history. With fighting and division in the corridors of power at an all-time high, ordinary men and women start to speak out. Performers from our Next Generation Act young company and Shakespeare Nation community participants join a professional cast.
A thrilling climax to Shakespeare’s three-part Henry VI saga of nationhood and power. The tussle for the English crown escalates to the battlefield and the families of Lancaster and York drench their brutal conflict in sweat and blood. Deceit, betrayal and murder at every turn. Who will emerge victorious?
