THE THEATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET COMPANY
A SEASON DIRECTED BY JONATHAN KENT
From September 2007 the newly created THEATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET COMPANY will present their first season of productions, under the direction of JONATHAN KENT.
In a new initiative pioneered by the theatre’s producers, Arnold M. Crook and Nigel Everett, Kent’s season will comprise WILLIAM WYCHERLEY’s restoration comedy THE COUNTRY WIFE, EDWARD BOND’s black comedy THE SEA, and the world premiere of MARGUERITE a new musical by MICHEL LEGRAND/ALAIN BOUBLIL/CLAUDE-MICHEL SCHÖNBERG and HERBERT KRETZMER.
Joining Kent will be his long term and regular collaborators designer PAUL BROWN and lighting designer MARK HENDERSON.
DAVID HAIG, PATRICIA HODGE and TOBY STEPHENS head up the company for The Country Wife, EILEEN ATKINS will lead The Sea company, and RUTHIE HENSHALL will play the title role in the musical Marguerite.
Working closely with Kent and in a unique development to coincide with their tenth Anniversary, the Haymarket’s pioneering MASTERCLASS programme will create and run a new apprentice training scheme for actors, directors and designers to work within the company, giving a vital first opportunity in the industry for talented young people.
