Royal Court: International is the first full-length study of the Royal Court Theatre's International Department. It charts the engagement of the UK's premiere theatre for new writing with an internationalist agenda and takes readers inside the process developed by the Court for the workshop projects it has undertaken in different parts of the world since the late 1990s. Covering the theatre's unique programming of international plays and seasons, it highlights new writing from different parts of the globe, including France, Spain, Germany, Russia, Eastern Europe, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Columbia, Iran, the Near East, North Africa, Nigeria and India. First-hand accounts of the work appear in contributions from Stephen Daldry, Elyse Dodgson and Vicky Featherstone, and in interviews with Marcos Barbosa (Brazil), Anupama Chandrasekhar (India), Dominic Cooke, Sasha Dugdale, Marius von Mayenburg (Germany), Mark Ravenhill and Indhu Rubasingham.

Industry Reviews

"It is a welcome addition to the history of an influential theatre, and a testament to theatre's enduring capacity to have cultural and political value within an increasingly mediatized, globalized world. It will appeal to students and researchers interested in the Royal Court's history and its commitment to developing new writing both at home and abroad. ... will provide a rich source of research material for those interested in the work of the artists involved." (William Platt, Studies in Theatre and Performances, Vol. 35 (3), September, 2015)

"Royal Court International provides the first study of its kind into the work of the International Department at the Royal Court Theatre. ... This publication will be accessible to scholars, students and enthusiasts of theatre alike." (Nicholas Holden, Platform Postgraduate Journal of Theatre Arts, Vol. 9 (2), 2015)
