To EU or not to EU?
Watch three plays about
the future of Europe
The Royal Shakespeare Company present
Projekt Europa: a trio of productions
investigating the past, present and future
of Europe, co-curated by Maria Åberg and
Judith Gerstenberg and created by some of
the leading theatre artists on the continent.
What is Europe? A beacon of world peace
and politico-economic powerhouse? Or just
a bunch of feuding neighbours slowly pulling
itself apart? Tickets on sale later in the year,
find out more at rsc.org.uk/projekt-europa
