Top tip to the Royal Court - in the unlikely event you're planning to sack Vicky Featherstone, don't announce it at the same time as the new season

You've got to admit, that is a pretty exciting announcement. McBurney, Mendes, Butterworth in particular.

Exciting all round, in particular I'm pleased for the Gary Owen/Sherman collaboration as well as I'm fond of both Owen and the Sherman.

Yes, very exciting!
Given the producers involved in the McBurney and Butterworth shows I assume a transfer is on the cards for both of those.
I was planning not to get sucked in to booking for the whole season this time but I suspect I will end up doing so!

A new Simon Stephens in the Upstairs? I can't decide if that sounds like heaven or hell! Will probably book everything in the Downstairs then look into £10 Mondays if anything Upstairs gets good feedback. It's getting a bit pricey to just book the Upstairs in advance these days.

I'm quite enthused by the sound of The Ferryman, the creative team alone suggests something brilliant. Undecided on Simon Stephen's offering. Sounds like a ballet with intermittent swearing.

Will probably book everything in the Downstairs then look into £10 Mondays if anything Upstairs gets good feedback. It's getting a bit pricey to just book the Upstairs in advance these days. I am doing the same. The prices for the Upstairs theatre are becoming prohibitive for advance booking. But the new season sounds very exciting. |

Yes, it's interesting that the McBurney and Butterworth are only on for a month at the RC whereas the usual run for a major work (e.g. new Lucy Kirkwood coming up) is more like two, isn't it? |

As far as I can work out, this might be only the third new play Mendes has ever directed (though he's done a few new musicals). He directed something set in a tank at the end of his Donmar career and then David Hare's The Vertical Hour on Broadway.

Could someone please help me out here -
As far as I can tell with the 'Become A Friend' scheme, you are able to access cheaper tickets for the downstairs productions, and not the upstairs productions, is that correct?
If so, is it only Mondays you are able to buy discounted tickets for the downstairs productions?
Thanks!
*Edit* - This line on the join as a friend page pretty much confirms that it is only downstairs, and that you get pre-access to the £10 Mondays...
Exclusive Priority Booking – including access to our £12 Monday tickets in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs (strictly subject to availability. Ticket limits may apply)

Road!
That was on my shortlist in the plays that need to be revived thread, John Tiffany too, which should be interesting.
Overall it looks to be a really powerful season.

I can't quite believe how much stuff I've got booked for the first half of next year already... and there's still a Hampstead announcement some time soon no doubt.

I could go to lots of these, quite happily, if only I lived in London and spent a fortune! Most tempted by Ferryman, Killology and Road but loved the Alice Birch play in Stratford last year....oh dear, no-one wanted Christmas presents this year did they?
[On a side note students in Oxford putting on The Nether and In the Republic of Happiness this Autumn at Oxford Playhouse....got to admire their ambition! Two of my favourite Royal Court productions....]

Killology for me, at the Sherman before the Royal Court. I agree with Latecomer that I'd go to everything else if I lived in London. On a side note students in Oxford putting on The Nether and In the Republic of Happiness this Autumn at Oxford Playhouse....got to admire their ambition! Two of my favourite Royal Court productions....] [We have a professional Cardiff production of The Nether in March so maybe enterprising companies everywhere have been drawn to put it on]. |

Huge Jez Butterworth fan having written about him before. Looking forward to The Ferryman.

Hampstead announcement on 11 November. Ooh, thanks for that info. Plus I don't think we know Menier and Donmar past mid to late Feb, do we? It's shaping up to be an expensive year. |

I assume with Sonia Friedman and Neal Street involved, The Ferryman might have a future commercial life should it be successful.
