Romeo and Juliet directed by Rupert Goold.

As You Like It directed by Michael Boyd.

'Michael Boyd's actors go for the heart of this serious, beautiful comedy' - Sunday Times

When two young people fall in love they are unable to act on their impulse. Uncertain of their standing in court and fearing for their lives, Rosalind and Orlando are forced into exile in the Forest of Arden only to become entangled in a beguiling game of love, lust and mistaken identity.

One of Shakespeare's great comedies, As You Like It subverts the traditional rules of romance, confusing gender roles, nature and politics in a play that reflects on how bewildering yet utterly pleasurable life can be.

The role of Rosalind will be played by Katy Stephens, who recently won the What's On Stage Theatregoers' Choice Best Actress Award for her performances as Joan of Arc and Margaret of Anjou as part of the Histories Ensemble.

Jonjo O'Neill also returns to the Company to play Orlando following his roles in the acclaimed 2005 Gunpowder Season. Joining them to play Celia is Mariah Gale, who recently took the roles of Ophelia in Hamlet and the Princess of France in Love's Labour's Lost as part of the Summer 2008 season.

RSC Artistic Director Michael Boyd directs the new RSC Ensemble in As You Like It following the critically acclaimed 2006 - 2008 Histories Cycle.

As You Like It plays in repertoire at The Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 21 July - 4 September 2010.

Julius Caesar directed by Lucy Bailey

'Lucy Bailey's innovative take on the classic is a breath of fresh air' - Independent

As Julius Caesar's strength and popularity look set to propel him to the imperial throne, those closest to him act to prevent what they fear will become a dictatorship. But the brutal assassination of one man unleashes a tide of violence that will drag thousands into a bloody civil war.

A masterpiece of political powerplay and manipulation, Julius Caesar examines the conflict between one man's ambition and the good of the state.

Greg Hicks takes the role of Julius Caesar, alongside John Mackay as Cassius and Sam Troughton as Brutus. John rejoins the Company following his appearances as the Dauphin and Jack Cade as part of the acclaimed Histories Ensemble. Sam, best known for his role as Much in the BBC series Robin Hood, returns to the RSC having performed in Michael Boyd's 2000 productions of Henry VI Parts I, II & III, whilst his other credits include the role of Orlando in Sheffield Crucible Theatre's 2007 production of As You Like It. Joining them to play Mark Antony is Darrell D'Silva, whose previous credits include numerous RSC productions including Hecuba, Camino Real and Dr Faustus.

Director Lucy Bailey joins the RSC for the first time. Lucy's recent credits include Private Lives at Hampstead Theatre and Timon of Athens and Titus Andronicus for Shakespeare's Globe as well as work with Chichester Festival Theatre and the National Theatre, where her acclaimed production of Baby Doll played before transferring to the West End.

Julius Caesar plays in repertoire at The Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 28 July - 4 September 2010.
