Print Room at the Coronet announces 2018 Programme

Print Room at the Coronet will present a year of outstanding and emotionally vivid new international performance by some of the world’s greatest most creative minds.

3 new commissions will play alongside UK premieres of productions from world-leading companies, and the Print Room at the Coronet welcomes the return of choreographer Russell Maliphant.

Artistic Director Anda Winters said – ‘I love the way theatre from other cultures presents universal feelings and experiences in different ways – ways that can be both interesting and enlightening to us. These are plays from around the world that look at the inner working of the human soul, performed in startling, visceral productions that take you into other minds in startling and sometimes shocking ways, and ask questions that we all grapple with. I am delighted to bring such very accomplished writers, directors and performers to the Print Room at the Coronet as we bring this wonderful building back to life.’
