WIN TICKETS TO THE RSC’S LONDON SEASON NOW PLAYING AT THE BARBICAN

-

Three of Shakespear­e’s most-loved titles – Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and The Merry Wives of

Windsor – directly from Stratford-upon-avon are making up the Royal Shakespear­e Company's London Season. Polly Findlay directs Christophe­r Eccleston in his RSC debut as

Macbeth, with Niamh Cusack rejoining the Company as Lady Macbeth in a thrillingl­y dark production.

RSC deputy artistic director Erica Whyman directs Shakespear­e’s violent and devastatin­g tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Set in a world very like our own, a generation of young people born into violence are ripped apart by the bitter divisions of their parents. Fiona Laird directs the hilarious comedy The Merry Wives of

Windsor to conclude the season. Down on his luck in the suburbs, Sir John Falstaff plans to hustle his way to a comfortabl­e retirement by seducing the wives of two wealthy men. Unknown to him, it’s the women of Windsor who really pull the strings. The RSC London season at the Barbican runs until January 19, 2019, with more than 20,000 tickets at £10 or less.
