Royal Shakespeare Company

Coming to New York City, Summer 2011
Tickets will be on sale Winter 2010

The Royal Shakespeare Company ensemble will perform in New York in July and August 2011 in a five-play six-week residency, presented by Lincoln Center Festival and Park Avenue Armory in association with The Ohio State University.

All five productions are currently playing to critical praise at the Company's home in Stratford-upon-Avon. Included are: As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Winter's Tale.They will be performed by an acting company at the culmination of three years of working together, playing multiple roles, in the same ensemble acting tradition that characterized the troupes in Shakespeare's time.

This will be the only opportunity for American audiences to see work from the current repertoire and experience the 1000 seat, thrust stage Scarlet & Gray Theatre, a full scale replica of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, specially created inside the Armory's soaring Wade Thompson Drill Hall.
