The players - so far

So far we know that Greg Doran, the current RSC Artistic Director, will direct and Oliver Ford Davies will also be in the production.

Greg directed David three other times, starting in 1998 with the two combined plays The Real Inspector Hound and Black Comedy at the Comedy Theatre in London. They later reunited in 2008 at the RSC for Loves Labours Lost and the hugely acclaimed award winning production of Hamlet.

Oliver Ford Davies played Polonius in Hamlet will play the Duke of York.
