About the event
Step behind the vermillion wall and discover the history of the Royal Court Theatre — described by The New York Times as “the most important theatre in Europe.” Home to the English Stage Company since 1956, the Royal Court has been the birthplace of modern British drama, launching landmark plays such as Look Back in Anger, Top Girls and Jerusalem, and championing generations of groundbreaking writers from John Osborne to Caryl Churchill, Sarah Kane and Jez Butterworth. On this 60 – 75 minute tour, you’ll explore our historic building, hear stories of battles with censorship and artistic freedom, and walk in the footsteps of the writers and artists who changed theatre forever.
