• Martin Crimp returns to Royal Court with new play IN THE REPUBLIC OF HAPPINESS, directed by Dominic Cooke in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs.

Dominic Cooke, Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre said:

“It’s a privilege to welcome back some of the UK’s most influential playwrights to the Royal Court in my penultimate season as Artistic Director.

” A new play by Caryl Churchill is a major cultural event. To have that joined by the latest work from Martin Crimp and Jez Butterworth in the same season is a rare and thrilling prospect. These are writers who have reshaped the theatrical landscape and challenged us to imagine ourselves in new ways. Their new plays are as startlingly original as anything they’ve written. Each writer has a long history with the Royal Court and I’m honoured to be welcoming them back this season.

“These plays are joined by three equally exciting voices from the next generation; Lucy Kirkwood makes her Royal Court debut with a witty and acerbic look at the representation of women in the media, NSFW, directed by our Associate Director Simon Godwin directing in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs for the first time. I’m delighted to welcome E.V. Crowe back to the Court with Hero, directed by Associate Director Jeremy Herrin, in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs. A graduate from our Young Writers programme, this is an assured and unusual second play for us in Sloane Square. I’m currently enjoying immersing myself in the world of gospel music on Tarell McCraney’s sensitive and theatrical new play Choir Boy, which I’ll be directing as the first show this season in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs.

“Finally, I’m proud to announce that Coutts will continue as the Royal Court’s Principal Sponsor for the second year-running in a partnership that celebrates the strengths of both organisations.”

Tickets for the new season are on sale to Friends and Supporters from tomorrow (Tuesday 12 June) at 9am online and 10am by phone and on general sale from Thursday 14 June at 9am online at 10am by phone. Tickets available online at www.royalcourttheatre.com or from the Box Office on 020 7565 5000.

What are we going to do?
We’ve got to know
I won’t be able to sleep
What are we going to do?

Someone sneezes. Someone can’t get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won’t answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone’s not ready to talk. Someone is her brother’s mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone’s never felt like this before.

In this fast moving kaleidoscope more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know.

Caryl Churchill is one of the UK’s most influential playwrights and her association with the Royal Court dates back to 1972 with her play Owners. Her plays at the Royal Court include Seven Jewish Children, Drunk Enough to Say I Love You, Top Girls, This is a Chair, Far Away, A Number, Cloud Nine and Serious Money.

James Macdonald directs. His previous credits at the Royal Court include Cock, (which is currently running at the Duke on 42nd Street, in New York), Drunk Enough to Say I Love You Dying City, Fewer Emergencies, Lucky Dog, Blood, Blasted, 4.48 Psychosis (including European/US tours).. His other directing credits include King Lear, The Book of Grace, Drunk Enough to Say I Love You (Public Theater); Top Girls (Broadway/MTC); Dying City (Lincoln Center); A Number (New York Theatre Workshop); And No More Shall We Part (Hampstead Theatre); A Delicate Balance, Judgment Day, The Triumph of Love (Almeida); John Gabriel Borkman (Abbey Theatre Dublin/BAM); Dido, Queen of Carthage, The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other, Exiles (National Theatre), Glengarry Glen Ross (West End), and A Number (New York Theatre Workshop). James MacDonald was Associate Director of the Royal Court from 1992 to 2007.

The articles are shit. No offence Charlotte. But no-one buys our publication principally for the literature. I think it’s important to acknowledge that.

Carrie’s getting them out for the lads. Charlotte’s just grateful to have a job, Sam’s being asked to sell more than his body and Aidan’s trying to keep Doghouse from going under.

Money, sex and photo-shop. Lucy Kirkwood’s sharp new comedy looks at power games and privacy in the media and beyond.

[NSFW – Not Safe For Work: online material which the viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as at work.]

NSFW is Lucy Kirkwood’s Royal Court debut.Credits include Beauty and the Beast co-devised with Katie Mitchell (National Theatre), and Small Hours, co-written with Ed Hime, directed by Katie Mitchell (Hampstead Theatre Downstairs), Tinderbox (Bush Theatre), Hedda (Gate Theatre). Psychogeography (Bush Theatre) and it felt empty when the heart went at first but it is alright now, produced by Clean Break, where she is now on the board, at the Arcola Theatre, which was nominated for an Evening Standard Award Best Newcomer award, the Susan Smith Blackburn award, and made Lucy joint winner of the John Whiting Award 2010. Lucy has written for Skins (Company Pictures) and is developing a screenplay for Film4 / Ruby Films. Her series The Smoke, will be produced by Kudos and Sky next year.

In the Republic of Happiness

Jerwood Theatre Downstairs
Press Night, Wednesday 12 December 2012, 7pm

What’re you doing here Robert?
Well to be frank with you, I’ve really no idea. I thought I would just suddenly appear, so I did. I suddenly appeared.

A family Christmas is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Uncle Bob.

Who is he? Why has he come? Why does his wife stay out in the car? And what is the meaning of his long and outrageous message?

All we can be sure of is that the world will never be the same again.

A violent satire, In the Republic of Happiness is a provocative roll-call of contemporary obsessions.

Martin Crimp’s last play at the Royal Court was The City, directed by Katie Mitchell. His previous Royal Court credits include Attempts On Her Life, The Country, Face to the Wall, Fewer Emergencies, Advice to Iraqi Women, The Treatment, No One Sees the Video and a translation of The Chairs (with Complicité). Martin Crimp also created the new translation of Rhinoceros for the Royal Court. His credits elsewhere include Play House/Definitely the Bahamas, Cruel and Tender (Young Vic). His recent translations of plays have included Big and Small, starring Cate Blanchett (Sydney Theatre Company /Barbican as part of London 2012 Festival, Théâtre de la Ville, Paris, Vienna Festival and Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen), The Misanthrope (Young Vic) and Pains of Youth (National Theatre).

Artistic Director of the Royal Court Dominic Cooke directs. His recent credits at the Court include In Basildon, Chicken Soup with Barley, for which he was nominated for an Evening Standard Award, and the multi award-winning production of Clybourne Park for which he was nominated for an Olivier Award. Clybourne Park, which won writer Bruce Norris the Tony Award for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize, opened at the Royal Court in September 2010 to critical acclaim before transferring to the West End. Credits elsewhere include The Comedy of Errors at the National Theatre, as well as adapting and directing Arabian Nights and Noughts and Crosses at the RSC.

When you singing them songs… he say, ‘I can see where we going and where we come from.’

Determined to make his mark like those before him Pharus is hell bent on being the best choir leader in the school’s 50 year history. But in a world built on rites and rituals, how will he conform to expectations and gain the respect he desperately needs?

Tarell Alvin McCraney’s piercing new play set in an all boys, all black, American prep school scores a gospel refrain of the politics of minority and masculinity.

Choir Boy was commissioned by, and is a co-production with Manhattan Theatre Club. It is supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play Wig Out! premiered at the Royal Court in 2008. Credits elsewhere include American Trade at Hampstead Theatre for the RSC, the trilogy entitled The Brother/Sister Plays, including The Brothers Size (Public Theater, New York in association with the Foundry Theatre, and at the Young Vic, where it was nominated for an Olivier Award and won McCraney the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright), In the Red and Brown Water (Alliance Theatre and Young Vic) and Marcus, or the Secret of Sweet. McCraney is also an actor and in April 2010, became the 43rd member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Ensemble. His play Head of Passes will be produced at Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 2013.

Notes to Editors

Coutts is the Principal Sponsor of the Royal Court Theatre

Coutts is the UK private banking arm of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Coutts has a long history of supporting the arts going back 200 years, having looked after the financial affairs of many famous clients connected with the arts such as Bram Stoker, Charles Dickens and Chopin. In 1816, Thomas Coutts married Harriot Mellon, a popular actress of her day, and together they became partners of a number of London Theatres, including the Drury Lane and the Royal Opera House. Coutts has even featured in a number of artistic works including The Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan, and Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. In the new millennium, this tradition has continued not only through managing the finances of many of today’s top writers, actors and musicians, but also through our arts sponsorship programme and we are delighted to support the Royal Court and its diverse range of ground-breaking performances.
