Royal Shakespeare Company Announces 2014 Season

The Traverse Theatre Company's and Wales Millennium Centre's co- production of I'm with the Band will open its UK tour at London's St. James Theatre following its world premiere at The Traverse Theatre, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

National Theatre Wales' award-winning political production, The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, is to be staged at a school in Edinburgh this summer, as part of both the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the British Council Showcase. It will be staged simultaneously on stage, and in a live stream via an interactive website.

'I'm With The Band' is a topical play with an interesting concept. It is a musical drama about successful indie rock band The Union, who comprise an English lead singer, a Welsh bassist, a Northern Irish drummer and a Scottish lead guitarist, the last of whom has decided he wants to leave the group. It's a cute metaphor for the independence referendum, written by Welshman Tim Price and featuring Gordon McIntyre's catchy score of original songs, all played live on stage by the performers.
