The Royal Court Theatre is the writers’ theatre. It is the leading force in world theatre for energetically cultivating writers ‐ undiscovered, emerging and established. Through the writers the Royal Court is at the forefront of creating restless, alert, provocative theatre about now. inspiring audiences and influencing future writers. We open our doors to the unheard voices and free thinkers that, through their writing, change our way of seeing. Over 120,000 people visit the Royal Court in Sloane Square, London, each year and many thousands more see our work elsewhere through transfers to the West End and New York, UK and international tours, digital platforms, our residencies across London and our site-specific work. The Royal Court’s extensive development activity encompasses a diverse range of writers and artists and includes an ongoing programme of writers’ attachments, readings, workshops and playwriting groups. Twenty years of the International Department’s pioneering work around the world means the Royal Court has relationships with writers on every continent. It is because of this commitment to the writer that we believe there is no more important theatre in the world than the Royal Court.
