Productions will include new family musical The Magician's Elephant by Nancy Harris and Marc Teitler, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo and directed by Sarah Tipple; The Wars of the Roses - all three parts of Henry VI across two performances, directed by Owen Horsley with Gregory Doran; and a First Encounters with Shakespeare production of Twelfth Night to be edited and directed by Robin Belfield and to tour schools across England.

There is also an ambition, now supported by the government's announcement of theatre reopening from 1 August, to open this Winter 2020 with rescheduled performances of The Winter's Tale and The Comedy of Errors. Both productions were in rehearsal and due to open in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre this spring.
