Epic, enthralling, extraordinary. This autumn the Rose stage will be transformed into a battleground for The Wars of the Roses, a gripping distillation of four of Shakespeare’s history plays, directed by Trevor Nunn, one of the world’s leading directors.

A spectacular theatrical event not seen since it was first produced at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1963 by Peter Hall & John Barton, The Wars of the Roses is a trilogy of plays about one of the most tumultuous and intriguing periods of British history. Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III bring to life the 15th century conflict between the House of York and the House of Lancaster for the throne of England – a tale of feuding families, murderous kings and adulterous queens, scheming and betrayal, revolts and battles. rosetheatrekingston.org

Following the runaway success of last year’s Christmas show, the Rose Theatre brings Charles Dickens’ timeless classic A Christmas Carol to life this December.

Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas. He hates charity, he hates carol singers and more than anything he hates spending money. But this is a year like no other as Scrooge is propelled on a helter-skelter, supernatural ride through Christmases past, present and future.

From carefree youth to misguided greed, from snowscapes to city streets, this is an epic adventure of the imagination. Will Scrooge open his heart to the true spirit of Christmas before it’s too late?

Promising another heart-warming family production, Ciaran McConville directs a company of actors joined by members of the Rose Youth Theatre in his own brand new adaptation of Dickens’ enchanting story.
