THE RED COURT tells the story of a real-life 21st century Chinese Macbeth. The play meshes Shakespeare’s tragedy with a story of scandal, corruption and murder that rocked China and gripped the world.
In 2011, China’s Premier-in-waiting was popular, charismatic and very ambitious. His rise to power seemed unstoppable. Behind him stood a ruthless wife, a British fixer and a fortune-teller who had predicted his destiny. What could possibly go wrong?
The Red Court is the winner of a national playwriting competition run by the Confucius Institute at Sheffield University. It appears at the Rondo prior to a tour to China.
The Red Court incorporates elements of Chinese theatre, and is performed in Rapscallion’s signature theatrical and energetic style.
