The Royal Court Theatre
THE ROYAL COURT THEATRE
The Royal Court Theatre is the writers’ theatre. It is a leading force in world theatre for cultivating and supporting writers - undiscovered, emerging and established.
Through the writers, the Royal Court is at the forefront of creating restless, alert, provocative theatre about now. We open our doors to the unheard voices and free thinkers that, through their writing, change our way of seeing.
Over 120,000 people visit the Royal Court in Sloane Square, London, each year and many thousands more see our work elsewhere through transfers to the West End and New York, UK and international tours, digital platforms, our residencies across London, and our site-specific work. Through all our work we strive to inspire audiences and influence future writers with radical thinking and provocative discussion.
The Royal Court’s extensive development activity encompasses a diverse range of writers and artists and includes an ongoing programme of writers’ attachments, readings, workshops and playwriting groups. Twenty years of the International Department’s pioneering work around the world means the Royal Court has relationships with writers on every continent.
Within the past sixty years, John Osborne, Samuel Beckett, Arnold Wesker, Ann Jellicoe, Howard Brenton and David Hare have started their careers at the Court. Many others including Caryl Churchill, Athol Fugard, Mark Ravenhill, Simon Stephens, debbie tucker green, Sarah Kane – and, more recently, Lucy Kirkwood, Nick Payne, Penelope Skinner and Alistair McDowall – have followed.
The Royal Court has produced many iconic plays from Lucy Kirkwood’s The Children to Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem and Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen.
Royal Court plays from every decade are now performed on stage and taught in classrooms and universities across the globe.
It is because of this commitment to the writer that we believe there is no more important theatre in the world than the Royal Court.
