Way to Heaven. Juan Mayorga

has placed a renewed emphasis on the development of international work and a creative dialogue now exists with theatre practitioners all over the world including Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Palestine, Russia and Spain. All of these development projects are supported by the Genesis Foundation and the British Council.

      The Royal Court has produced new International plays through this programme since 1997. Recent work includes My Name is Rachel Corrie, At the Table and Almost Nothing by Marcos Barbosa, Push Up by Roland Schimmelpfennig, Ladybird by Vassily Sigarev and Terrorism by the Presnyakov Brothers.

      WAY TO HEAVEN is produced by the Royal Court International Department:

      Associate Director Elyse Dodgson

      International Administrator Chris James

      International Associate Tiffany Watt-Smith

      The Royal Court (English Stage Company Ltd) receives its principal funding from Arts Council England, London. It is also supported financially by a wide range of private companies, charitable and public bodies, and earns the remainder of its income from the box office and its own trading activities.

      The Genesis Foundation supports International Playwrights and the Young Writers’ Festival.

      The Jerwood Charity supports new plays by new playwrights through the Jerwood New Playwrights series.

      The Skirball Foundation funds a Playwrights’ Programme at the theatre. The Artistic Director’s Chair is supported by a lead grant from The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, contributing to the activities of the Artistic Director’s office. Bloomberg Mondays, the Royal Court’s reduced price ticket scheme, is supported by Bloomberg. Over the past eight years the BBC has supported the Gerald Chapman Fund for directors.
