Royal Court Theatre

The theatre is a leading force in world theatre, finding and producing plays that are original, contemporary and challenging.

From the start, the Royal Court has always promoted new writers, actors, designers and directors and many are now very well established in the world of entertainment.

On 1 January 2007, the theatre appointed a new artistic director, Dominic Cooke. His first season included emerging writers who have been discovered by the Royal Court’s Young Writers Programme. International work, long pioneered by the Royal Court, also featured. The season included premieres of several new plays by international writers, together with new translations of two classic European parables, Rhinoceros and The Fire Raisers.

Following on from Coutts successful lead sponsorship of the Royal Court’s 50 ^th anniversary celebrations in 2006, we were delighted to sponsor Dominic Cooke’s flagship production in the autumn 2007 of Rhinoceros.

In December 2010, Coutts is delighted to be sponsoring the Royal Court’s first ever family Christmas show, Get Santa! The play will be for 7 year olds and up and follows a ten-year old girl, Holly, in her quest to find the perfect family, meeting a host of weird and wonderful characters along the way. This production is designed for families which is at the core of so much that Coutts does.
