The Orange Tree (OT) today announces four new productions for their Autumn season, featuring the world premières of Here in America by David Edgar and Treasure Island: the True(r) Story by Hannah Khalil. The OT also continues their partnership with the JMK Trust and will stage a modern classic in Autumn 2024 directed by next year’s winner of the JMK Award, and completing the season, Twelfth Night directed by OT Artistic Director Tom Littler and starring Olivier Award winner Oliver Ford Davies.

Surprising Oliver Ford Davies hasn’t played Malvilio before, sounds like good casting. Tom Littler said it was probably only the second time the Orange Tree had ever staged a full Shakespeare play.

I’m not that keen on their new policy of opening booking up to 16 months in advance.

Opposite for me. I have 23 bookings for 2024 already, latest currently being 10 October. I'll add to that with OT Members booking in a few days. My partner has been known to suggest that I enjoy filling up my spreadsheet almost as much as seeing the shows themselves...

You can see the economic benefit to the theatre of taking early revenue like that but I'd prefer to hang on to the money myself for another year.
