The Royal Shakespeare Company production of David Edgar’s new play Written on the Heart has posted closing notices at the West End’s Duchess Theatre, where it opened on 23 April 2012 and will now finish on 19 May, one month after it started preview performances.
The play, which centres on the creation of the King James Bible, transferred to London following a critically acclaimed run in rep at Stratford-upon-Avon’s Swan Theatre, where it premiered in November 2011. It had previously been booking in London through to 21 July 2012.
Written on the Heart was commissioned by the RSC to mark last year’s the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible, one of the most widely published texts in the English language.
According to press material, “Across an 80-year divide, two men translate the word of God into the English tongue. For one, it means death at the stake. For the other, it could mean an archbishop's mitre.”
Written on the Heart is directed by Gregory Doran, currently the RSC’s chief associate director who, after 25 years with the company, will succeed Michael Boyd as artistic director at the end of this year.
