'We are the only love gods'We welcome Shakespeare back to the

Royal Shakespeare Theatre with a brand new production of one of his best loved romantic

comedies. In a futuristic world, two very different couples fall in love – but who is

really pulling the strings? With dastardly plots, hilarious slapstick and some of Shakespeare’s

wittiest dialogue, this story of matchmaking and manipulation is the perfect way to celebrate the joy of live theatre.

Director Roy Alexander Weise (joint Artistic Director of the

Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester) makes his RSC debut with Akiya Henry and

Michael Balogun as the sparring lovers, Beatrice and Benedick. With a set designed

by the award-winning Jemima Robinson, the production features costume

designs by Melissa Simon-Hartman, who has designed for Beyoncé and

Notting Hill Carnival, and an original score by Nigerian-born

British guitarist and MOBO award-nominated musician

Femi Temowo whose past collaborators include

Amy Winehouse and The Roots.

‘I will stir up in England some black storm Shall blow ten thousand souls to heaven or hell’

With fighting and division in the corridors of power at an all-time high, ordinary

men and women start to speak out. But as the people rise in protest,

who is behind their rebellion?

Including performers from our Next Generation Act young company and Shakespeare Nation

community participants alongside a professional cast, Henry VI: Rebellion hurtles through one of the

most turbulent periods in English history.

Originally titled The First Part of the Contention betwixt the two famous houses of York and Lancaster and

labelled Henry VI: Part 2when first published, our

Henry VI: Rebellion asks if the people can ever really

decide their own future.

FIGHTS RACHEL BOWN-WILLIAMS AND RUTH COOPER-BROWN

‘In cruelty will I seek out my fame’The tussle for the English crown escalates to the battlefield and the families of Lancaster and York drench their brutal conflict in sweat and blood. As power is shunted back and forth, there is deceit, betrayal and murder at every turn. The scene is set for the final chapter as we get our first glimpse of the ambitious and manipulative Duke of Gloucester – soon to become Richard III.

With more battles than any other Shakespeare play, Wars of the Rosesis a thrilling climax to Shakespeare’s three-part Henry VI saga of nationhood and power: who will emerge victorious?
