The Royal Court Theatre’s weekly project, Living Newspaper, will continue with Edition 3 on Monday 29 March.

After being paused at the end of 2020 due to the national lockdown, the experience has been re-imagined for the upcoming four editions for an online audience at home.

Edition 3’s Front Page will be available to watch live, online at 5.30pm on 29 March, along with 15 performances of new work shared across the week.

The content shared daily will include local and global perspectives, longer form pieces, a dating column, a cartoon of the week, a weather room, an agony aunt, horoscopes, and more. 

A different creative team, led by writers, will take over the Royal Court Theatre to stage the new work each week, which will be captured by Tea Films and shared with audiences at home. Writers for Edition 3 include Travis Alabanza, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, Nick Bruckman, Anupama Chandrasekhar, Zain Dada, Josh Elliott, Rabiah Hussain, Sami Ibrahim, Karen Laws, Eve Leigh, Chloë Moss, Anthony Neilson, Margaret Perry and Rebecca Prichard.

New performances can be watched Monday - Friday of that Edition’s week, and all pieces will be available to watch over that weekend and the following week, allowing ticket holders to access the work much like they might an online paper - catching up on the news and supplements when it best suits them.

Edition 4 will be released from 6 April, Edition 5 from 12 April and Edition 6 from 19 April.

Tickets available to buy from 12 noon on Tuesday 9 March 2021 here.
