An updated list of some of the productions I’m looking forward to seeing over the next few months…
The Two Noble Kinsmen at the RSC.
Cymbeline ‘reclaimed and renamed’ as Imogen at the Globe
King Lear – Antony Sher at the RSC and Glenda Jackson at the Old Vic
Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Globe.
The Tempest, Henry IV and Julius Caesar – all-female casts at the Donmar King’s Cross
Simon Russell Beale as Prospero in The Tempest at the RSC
Othello in the indoor theatre at the Globe in early 2017.
Ivo van Hove’s Roman Tragedies – Coriolanus, Julius Caesar, and Anthony and Cleopatra in a six hour epic in Dutch at the Barbican in 2017; and hopefully Hamlet at the Almeida.
What have I missed? Time-Out has a useful, though frequently incomplete, list here.
