The Orange Tree Theatre have announced further programming for The Recovery Season, opening with the world première of Sonali Bhattacharyya’s Two Billion Beats, directed by Nimmo Ismail, from 5 February 2022.

This will be followed by Franz Xaver Kroetz’s Tom Fool, directed by Diyan Zora, from 12 March-16 April. Oscar Toeman directs the UK première of Pamela Carter’s The Misfortune of the English from 25 April-28 May; and completing the season, Miller directs the first major revival of Martin Crimp’s translation of The False Servant by Pierre Marivaux from 8 June-23 July. Each production will also be available to watch livestreamed or on-demand.

Artistic Director Paul Miller said: “The next stage of our Recovery Season sees a classic OT mix of new plays, emerging artists, internationalism, a European classic and a new Community Festival. We are all reconnecting with society and seeing the world from new perspectives, and in our 50th anniversary year, this season at the OT aims to further this process, as we continue to reconnect with our audiences and the artists who make theatre happen. The great Recovery continues!”

Following the success of its run at the OT, Michele Lee’s Rice - in co-production with Actors Touring Company and in association with Theatre Royal Plymouth, will embark on a UK tour. With direction from ATC Artistic Director Matthew Xia, the production opens at The Drum Theatre on 4 February before touring to Oxford, Scarborough, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and culminating in York.
