Two critically-acclaimed shows make their London debut
This winter, the Royal Shakespeare Company return to our stage with two extraordinary plays, The Buddha of Suburbia and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Director Emma Rice brings her unique and joyful style to Hanif Kureishi’s award-winning 1990 novel, exploring family, friends, sex, theatre and, ultimately, belonging, in a critically acclaimed production of The Buddha of Suburbia.
A Midsummer Night's Dream comes to London following a sell-out run in Stratford-upon-Avon. With Mathew Baynton (Ghosts, Horrible Histories) as Bottom, this hilarious production of Shakespeare’s captivating comedy will transport you from deepest midwinter to the most magical of midsummer nights.
