The new Garden Theatre will open this Summer with a reconceived version of The Comedy of Errors, one of Shakespeare’s earliest and arguably funniest plays, running from 13 July – 26 September. The production, directed by Phillip Breen, was due to be part of the RSC’s 2020 season, but was postponed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Following a double bill of Silvestrini's work for HeadSpaceDance streamed at the start of the month, Luca Silvestrini's Protein continue their Protein 21 Remix digital series with Ride and Stairworks featuring Luca himself. The provocative duet Ride oscillates between aspiration and desire, unbridled passion and respectability, and is accompanied by Stairworks, a piece performed on outdoor staircases by men wearing only white bath towels.  

A double bill of works offering a touching glimpse into the lives of dancers offstage and backstage is to be streamed from today as part of the ongoing Protein 21 Remix digital series.
