Tony Award-winning Jonathan Groff makes his RSC debut in Shakespeare's most sweet-natured comedy, where love is love – no matter where it falls. Rosalind is banished from the court of Duke Frederick – but not before she and young Orlando fall for each other. Seeking out her exiled father in the Forest of Arden with her devoted cousin, Celia, Rosalind disguises herself as a young man, Ganymede. In fear of his own life, Orlando also escapes to the forest and soon runs into Ganymede, who pledges to cure his lovesickness. But in order to do so, Orlando has to woo her… or rather, he has to woo ‘him'. Then the games commence. Daniel Evans directs an all-male cast.

"I feel like a newborn out in the world for the first time. I feel... ravenous." Tonight's the night. She's got a plan. And it involves her (secret) girlfriend, and the house they're about to move into together. And it doesn't matter to her that her mum warns tonight is the first night of the ghost month. Because parents will say anything to keep you home. Swiping an orange from the family altar and pocketing a coin she finds on her way over to the new place, she steps through the doorway - and unwittingly invites a hungry ghost into both of their lives. As the ghost starts to take over and she wrestles for control of her own body, her carefully constructed house of lies comes tumbling down around her. A sexy horror rom-com exploring what takes root in the space between superstition and rationality.

In 1895, Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years in prison – for being provocative; for loving men, for not hiding his true self and for defying convention. His trial was meant to be a warning to others – against the crime of homosexuality and his irrepressible drive for freedom and recognition. While imprisoned, he wrote a long, impassioned letter to his estranged young lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. Later published as De Profundis, Wilde's letter describes the unbearable pains and blissful pleasures of his love, as well as his views on art, Christianity, and incarceration, and a society that doesn't tolerate what it doesn't understand. De Profundis is the last outcry of a broken but untamed spirit. Bankrupt and shunned by society, Wilde writes with literary mastery about contempt and loneliness, about pride and pain. What remains when everything that a person once was is taken away from them? From the Berliner Ensemble, award-winning German actor Jens Harzer performs Oscar Wilde's De Profundis, directed by Berliner Ensemble Artistic Director Oliver Reese. In German with English surtitles.
