With productions of Macbeth, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Romeo and Juliet running at London's Barbican until 19 January, the RSC has now also announced its Summer season 2019, with shows from February to September.

Productions will include As You Like It, directed by Kimberly Sykes, Measure for Measure directed by Gregory Doran, and The Taming of the Shrew directed by Justin Audibert. The latter is to be set in a reimagined 1590 where England is a matriarchy, so audiences can expect a challenge to the conventional gender and power dynamics present in the play.

All productions are now available for public booking, and teacher packs and other resources are available for each play on the production webpage.
