ROSE THEATRE KINGSTON


The largest producing theatre in South West London


F


ounded by Sir Peter Hall, one of Britain’s most extinguished theatre


directors, and founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Rose Theatre Kingston is the largest producing theatre in south west London. The Elizabethan shaped auditorium is a replica of the original Rose Theatre on the South Bank that staged the plays of Christopher Marlowe and early plays by Shakespeare. With an auditorium that lends itself to both intimate and epic scale productions, the Rose has established itself as one of the most exciting theatres in the UK and continues to build its reputation for world class drama. Since opening the Rose has produced or co-produced 38 shows, an exciting mix of engaging, inspiring and drama, contemporary theatre and family shows. In 2014, Jacqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather transferred to the West End where it was nominated for an Olivier Award before embarking on a tour of the UK and America. In conjunction with our co-producers, we also won the UK Theatre Awards Best Touring Production twice, in 2014 with Brian Friel’s Translations and in 2016 with Peter Whelan’s Herbal Bed. The Rose has built a reputation


for raking in the big names on and off the stage. In 2010 Dame Judi Dench played Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream; the same year also saw Celia Imrie star in Hay Fever; 2012 saw Alison Steadman grace the stage in Here; Joely Richardson has appeared at the Rose twice, most recently in 2015’s theatrical event, The Wars of the Roses, Shakespeare’s epic saga directed by Trevor Nunn. Last autumn saw John Malkovich make his London directorial debut with Good Canary which scooped up an Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Director.


Looking forward to the future, the Rose has an exciting new jam- packed season of Rose Productions ahead of them, starting in February with the world premiere of Sandi Toksvig‘s new comedy, Silver Lining ; in March they’ll present another world premiere and first ever stage adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan quartet of novels, My Brilliant Friend – ‘a literary phenomenon turned theatrical event’ The New York Times. The creative talent doesn’t end there, another Evening Standard Award-winner Jeremy Herrin (Wolf Hall), will be directing the new musical Junkyard, written by BAFTA Award-winning writer


Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), which will end its run with the Rose in April. The Easter holidays will also see Roald Dahl’s The Twits provide a treat for the whole family.


There are numerous ways for both the young and young at heart to get involved and participate at the Rose. The Rose runs a series of drama and playwriting courses and activities all year round. Last year, the Rose Youth Theatre, the largest in the area including more than 600 young people aged 5 – 18, performed on our main stage, ay Hampton Court palace, the V&A Museum and Kingston Museum to name a few.
