Co-Artistic Directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey unveil their full 2026-27 season in Stratford-Upon-Avon, with four new productions joining the previously announced Game of Thrones: The Mad King, the first-ever stage play arising from George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series. Join us for a programme of time-honoured stories told in surprising new ways.
We are delighted to share our new season, featuring five sensational shows, including the epic fantasy of Game of Thrones: The Mad King, plus a 19th-century literary masterpiece, a swashbuckling adventure and two plays from our in-house playwright.
From the sweet-natured romance of As You Like It to the righteous anger of Julius Caesar, the anarchic adventures of The Three Musketeers to the sweeping societal shifts of Middlemarch, themes of identity, transformation, freedom, justice and the liberation that comes from breaking free of expectations loom large this autumn, as classic stories and universal struggles take on powerful new resonance in the hands of some of the most exciting artists of today.
As ever, our commitment to the dual mission of making theatre and education through theatre remains at the heart of who we are as a company. In 2026, we celebrate the milestone of 20 years working in long-term partnership with schools across the UK. Since 2006, we have seen our network of Associate Schools expand to reach over 280 schools in 100 towns and cities across England, transforming the lives of thousands of young people in the process.
We know, from our own evidence-based research, what a very real difference our pioneering theatre-based teaching approaches to Shakespeare make to the way children see themselves, and the way that the adults in their lives see them, which is why we are thrilled to be working with KPPL Productions to bring the seminal production of Julius Caesar to the heart of communities across England.
Please join us as we lift the veil on exceptional live performance this season.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
