Paul Crewes, CEO of York Theatre Royal said, “We’re very excited about this upcoming season – most notably in a first for us, we will be working with our friends at Citizens Theatre in Glasgow on Arthur Miller’s modern classic Death of a Salesman, directed by the fabulous Dominic Hill. This is a wonderful collaboration with a great theatre.
“Spring 2027 will also see us co-producing again with the Emma Rice Company and Nottingham Playhouse on a revival of Tristan and Yseult. I have such fond memories of originally producing this show with Emma when we were both at Kneehigh alongside Mike Shepherd. I can’t wait for York audiences to have the chance to finally see this production that successfully toured the world for many years.
“These productions join the line-up of our other produced work already onsale – including our revival of Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad later this year with Amelia Bullmore, our Youth Theatre production of Wendy and Peter Pan and the highlight of the festive season, our panto Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
“Our dance programme also continues to be one of the most exciting in the North of England, with the return of London City Ballet, the world premiere of the latest show from Carlos Acosta and the Acosta Danza Company and Ben Duke’s Lost Dog coming to York for the first time. I hope we have given audiences plenty to look forward to with a range of classics, new work and family favourites on our stage.”
