The RSC has a long tradition of supporting and encouraging new writing. The company
continues to build on this commitment to create new work alongside Shakespeare
and to develop that work within its classical ensembles. The extensive resource
of the RSC allows playwrights to explore the possibilities for epic stories as
well as those of more intimate work. Writers Adriano Shaplin and Marina Carr
have each created a new play working with actors from the current The Merchant of Venice and The Taming of the Shrew companies, and
both productions will premiere at Wilton’s Music Hall.
