RET’s Dr Korczak and Palace hit London and Fringe Festival

Three critically-acclaimed Royal Exchange productions will be seen across the UK and Ireland this summer to mark the last 12 months as one of the most successful years in a decade of work in The Studio.

Following a sell-out return of Dr Korczak’s Example to the Exchange last week prior to a London transfer, the RET production of Judith Thompson’s powerful play, Palace Of The End is to be seen at both the Galway Arts Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Dr Korczak’s Example by David Greig is currently showing in The Studio until Saturday 27 June, before transferring to London’s Arcola Theatre from Wednesday 1 to Saturday 18 July. This Royal Exchange production was first seen in June 2008; where it went on to win the 2008 Manchester Evening News Theatre Award for Best Studio Production.

Judith Thompson’s Palace Of the End, which received its English premiere in The Studio earlier this year, will transfer to the Town Hall Theatre as part of the Galway Arts Festival, from Tuesday 14 to Saturday 18 July before going to the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, from Wednesday 5 to Sunday 30 August.

The third Royal Exchange production in the past year to spread the success of The Studio is Matthew Dunster’s You Can See The Hills, which received its world premiere at the Exchange in September 2008 before transferring to London’s Young Vic for a week in October and a further 3 week run this Spring.
