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.
