    The Royal Court is a leading force in world theatre, producing new plays of the highest quality, encouraging writers across society, and addressing the problems and possibilities of our time.

    The Royal Court Theatre is Britain's leading national company dedicated to new work by innovative writers from the UK and around the world. The theatre's pivotal role in promoting new voices is undisputed - the New York Times described it as 'the most important theatre in Europe'.

    The Royal Court receives and considers an extraordinary quantity of new work and each year it presents an ambitious programme in its two venues at Sloane Square in London. In recent years the Royal Court has also staged productions in New York, Sydney, Brussels, Toronto and Dublin.

    In addition to the high profile of its productions, the Royal Court facilitates international work at a grass roots level, developing exchanges which bring young writers to Britain and sending British writers, actors and directors to work with artists around the world. The Royal Court Young Writers Programme also works to develop new voices with their bi-annual Festival and year-round development work for writers under the age of 26.

    The Royal Court has clubbed together with 11 of London’s most exciting theatres to offer you and your mates lots of ‘nights less ordinary’ across the capital.

      One of the most infamous scandals in financial history becomes a theatrical epic. Mixing classical tragedy with savage comedy, it follows a group of flawed men and women in a narrative of greed and loss which reviews the tumultuous 1990s and casts a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world finds itself in 2009.

      Based on real life and using music, movement and video, Enron will be directed by Headlong Theatre's Artistic Director Rupert Goold in his Royal Court directorial debut.

      Lucy Prebble won the George Devine Award and the Critics Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright for her debut play The Sugar Syndrome at the Royal Court in 2004.

      The Priory by Michael Wynne Jerwood Theatre Downstairs

      Kate is delighted when she finds a country retreat that ticks all the boxes. Gathering together a select group of her closest friends to celebrate New Year’s Eve, she is keen to start 2010 afresh. But successful, stressed-out thirtysomethings in search of a good time in the sticks can make for one very fearsome party…and some surprising resolutions.

      Michael Wynne’s buoyant new comedy takes a microscope to modern dilemmas about life, love and retro board games.Michael Wynne’s previous plays include The People Are Friendly and The Knocky for the Royal Court, and Sell Out, Dirty Wonderland and The Boy Who Left Home. He also co-wrote the film My Summer of Love.

      Director Jeremy Herrin’s recent work includes Tusk Tusk, The Vertical Hour and That Face, all at the Royal Court.
