Theatre Royal Windsor has announced the Theatre Royal Windsor Season on Tour, featuring three productions originating at the historic venue and touring across the UK in 2026.
The season begins with Noël Coward’s The Marquise, opening at Theatre Royal Windsor from Wednesday 27 May to Saturday 6 June 2026. This witty romantic comedy receives a vibrant 1930s twist before visiting Oxford Playhouse, Theatre Royal Bath, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre Guildford and more venues to be announced.
When a widowed Count tries to marry off his daughter to the son of his best friend, it seems like a sensible plan. But with both young lovers secretly pining for others, their entangled affections cause chaos. Just as their scheme to break free begins, the spirited Marquise Eloise de Kestournel bursts back into their lives, turning their plans upside down.
Directed by Philip Wilson, the production features set and costume design by Colin Falconer and lighting design by Nick Richings. Casting will be announced soon.
Next in the season is Graham Greene’s Our Man in Havana, adapted by Clive Francis. Opening at Theatre Royal Windsor from Wednesday 1 July to Saturday 11 July 2026, the production will tour to Salisbury Playhouse, Oxford Playhouse, Theatre Royal Bath, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre Guildford, Cheltenham Everyman and further venues.
The play follows James Wormold, a British vacuum cleaner salesman in pre-revolutionary Havana who is recruited by MI6. Lacking any real spy skills, Wormold fabricates an entire network of fictional agents and reports, leading to absurd and dangerous consequences.
This fast-moving romp is directed by Philip Wilson, with set and costume design by Julie Godfrey, lighting design by Nick Richings and sound design by Andy Graham. Casting will be announced soon.
Finally, Royce Ryton’s The Anastasia File returns following its recent critically acclaimed run at Theatre Royal Windsor. Opening from Wednesday 30 September to Saturday 3 October 2026, the production will tour to Salisbury Playhouse, Malvern Theatres, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre Guildford and more venues.
Exploring the enduring mystery of the Grand Duchess Anastasia, the play examines the claims of a young woman who believes she may be the sole surviving member of the Russian royal family. Questions of memory, truth and identity unfold in this gripping thriller.
Directed by Roy Marsden, the production stars Jenny Seagrove, Simon Shepherd, Ashley D. Gayle and Rosie Thomson, with sound design by Dan Samson.
Anne-Marie Woodley, Theatre Director and Head of Venues for Bill Kenwright Ltd, said, “In recent years, we’ve been immensely proud to develop exceptional work here at Theatre Royal Windsor, including our annual World Premieres born from our Writers in Residence initiative. Launching the first three plays of the Theatre Royal Windsor Season on Tour marks an exciting new chapter for us, and we’re thrilled to bring our productions to audiences across the UK.”
