The Royal Court Theatre will host In Solidarity on 1 April, a day of readings and a live stream in solidarity with Ukrainian theatre artists. 

In Solidarity will foreground the voices of extraordinary Ukrainian playwrights reflecting the immediate experience and deep roots of the current invasion.

Ticket revenue will contribute towards supporting the Ukrainian artists involved in this event. Ticket prices for the readings are being kept to a minimum to encourage bookers to donate to Unicef UK’s fundraising appeal to protect children in Ukraine here.

The events include: On the War whereby ten leading members of the Theater of Playwrights in Kyiv tell their own stories about the war; and Bad Roads, a staged reading of Ukrainian playwright Natal’ya Vorozhbit’s seminal play, documenting Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea and  Donbas. 

Throughout Friday 1 April, the Royal Court Bar & Kitchen will also be giving proceeds from food sales to the #CookforUkraine campaign.

Performers are to be announced.
